Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 59 Li Shouzhong's Promotion
Feng Yibo's insincere apology was naturally intentional.

The discerning person knows.

Only when the two sides have the same value-added position can they have common interests.

So he married the Xue family, not so much for the sake of reconciling with the Jia family.

It's better to say that he married the Wang family.

Of course, it was Li Shouzhong, his mentor.

This article is one martial arts.

These are the two benchmarks that Emperor Jingshun set for the noble families such as the four kings and eight princes.

If you can understand, come and cast quickly.

The Jia family, however, is the Emperor's die-hard supporter.

So, Feng Yibo thinks.

It's okay to reconcile, but it can't be too good.

Because Li Shouzhong will soon enter Beijing.

Not long after Feng Yibo's new batch of Jinshi were appointed officials, Li Shouzhong was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing.

The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing was transferred to the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

In the past two days, Wang Binzhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing for some reason.

It is semi-distributed.

So, it goes without saying.

Li Shouzhong will go to Beijing in a few days to succeed the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

This series of operations may seem chaotic, but in fact there are traces to follow.

The root of everything is the Japanese pirates' harassment of Jiangnan.

As early as when Japanese pirates robbed Jiangnan, Zhao Wensong, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, discovered the problem.

He went to Shuli Chen to prevent the Japanese, and he also put forward seven opinions.

First, send people to sacrifice to the Sea God.

Second, order Yousi to collect and bury the bones to avoid plague and reduce local corvee.

Third, recruit more water troops and build warships.

Fourth, increase the land tax in the south of the Yangtze River, and pre-levy for three years in Su, Changshu and other places.

Fifth, let the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River donate money to save themselves, and after the Japanese plague is subdued, they will either judge their merits or forgive their crimes.

Sixth, send important officials to inspect the military situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

Seventh, appease the old party and salt disciples of Tongfan, and disintegrate from the inside of the Japanese pirates.

As soon as Zhao Wensong's memorial was published, the Ministry of War quickly gave its opinion.

It is believed that one, two, three, five, and seven are all available, but four and six are not feasible.

Emperor Jingshun was furious because of the Japanese pirates.

Seeing that the Ministry of War had no constructive opinions at all, it immediately issued an edict to reprimand.

He also used this to dismiss Nie Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Seeing this, Wang Binzhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, immediately supported all of Zhao Wensong's performances.

He also planted disasters for himself.

Emperor Jingshun asked the chief assistant Zhang Songyue at that time.

If this is the case, who should be sent to worship the god of the sea and the governor Jiangnan.

Zhao Wensong is a member of Zhang Songyue's faction.

Hearing Emperor Jingshun's inquiry, he took advantage of the situation and suggested that whoever goes to the shuffle should do it.

Therefore, Zhao Wensong led the sacrificial offering to the god of the sea and the supervisor of Jiangnan's anti-Japanese affairs.

If he really acted according to what he said, maybe there would be nothing later.

But wait until he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River.

Regardless of the Japanese pirates, let's sacrifice to the sea god first.

This kind of sacrifice is naturally meaningless.

Moreover, it wastes money and wastes money, and disturbs the local area.

After he took office, he used this to make money crazily.

Whether it's sacrifices or donations.

As long as money is involved.

Regardless of public or private, they will all be sent to his private residence.

For a time, the whole Jiangnan was troubled by it.

The impeachment memorials are full of Emperor Jingshun's imperial cases.

At the beginning, Emperor Jingshun still hoped that he could wipe out the Japanese pirates.

But he made no progress at all except for a few false reports of military exploits.

After reading Longlin Guard's secret book, Emperor Jingshun immediately issued an order to recall him.

But Zhao Wensong was still on his way back to Beijing when Japanese pirates attacked Nanjing again.

This time, Emperor Jingshun completely exploded.

After that, there was a big earthquake in Jiangnan officialdom.

First, a vacancy was vacated by the Nanjing Ministry of War.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing was also implicated and was transferred to the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

As a result, there was a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing.

It happened that Li Shouzhong was promoted to the top.

Originally, we had to wait, but there is a high probability that Wang Binzhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, will join the cabinet next year.

At that time, Li Shouzhong had the opportunity to be transferred to Jingzhong.

But Wang Binzhou was impeached together because he supported Zhao Wensong.

As soon as Zhao Wensong came back, he was dismissed from office and exiled to the Nine Sides.

As a result, Wang Binzhou was laid off early and sent to the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing for retirement.

Only in this way will Li Shouzhong have a chance to take over this year.

If he moved quickly, he should have set off from Jinling by now.

in the next month.

Feng Yibo followed his orders step by step in the Imperial Academy.

Even cautious.

Before Li Shouzhong entered Beijing, he determined to be a quail.

In order not to be found wrong, use him to give Li Shouzhong a blow.

On this day, I finally received the news.

Feng Yibo had his chariots and horses ready, and picked up Li Shouzhong and his party at the pier.

Li Shouzhong traveled lightly, only bringing his wife and four servants with him.

It was still an official ship.

After getting off the boat, Feng Yibo stepped forward to greet him.

After a brief talk, I took my teacher and teacher's wife back home.

When Li Shouzhong came this time, he definitely couldn't stay in Jia's house.

And he has no other property in the capital.

I can only listen to Feng Yibo's arrangement first.

After settling down, slowly find a suitable place to live.

The main house of the Feng family has already been given up, and Feng Yibo lives in the side room first.

After everything was tidied up, the three had a chance to sit down and chat.

Li Shouzhong took a sip of the tea and praised:
"Okay! You are very good, Yibo, you have not let the teacher down!"

Feng Yibo naturally knew that he was talking about the imperial examination.

Immediately smiled and praised: "It's all taught by my mentor."

Li Shouzhong's wife Li Mengshi also laughed and said:

"It's really a good story for you, master and apprentice, to visit flowers."

This is what Li Shouzhong talked about the most these days, and he was most proud of it.

I mentioned it in front of my wife more than once.

He smiled slightly when he heard the words, then remembered something, and asked:

"By the way, I heard that Yibo contradicted Mrs. Shi and alarmed the Supreme Emperor?"

Feng Yibo was stunned: "Has this matter spread to Jiangnan?"

He thought that only Jingzhong spread the word quietly, but he didn't expect that even Jiangnan knew about it.

To him, such fame is not good or bad.

"It's the news from the capital that the Supreme Emperor asked the Holy Majesty to depose you for some reason, but the Holy Majesty cherished his talent and only demoted you by two ranks, but he still took you."

Li Shouzhong's face was serious, and he said:
"The entire Jiangnan scholar community was outraged, and some even wanted to write a letter to denounce the Supreme Emperor's move."

Having said this, Li Shouzhong sighed and said:

"It's just that Japanese pirates have been frequent recently, and Jiangnan is exhausted."

"All the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were tortured enough by Zhao Wensong, so although they were angry, few of them actually wrote a letter."

He sighed one after another, and continued:
"Everyone was afraid that something would happen again, so it didn't cause too much splash."

"Speaking of this matter, the disciple is also in the dark. At that time, he only wanted to pave the way for the teacher to enter Beijing, but he didn't expect that a small person like me could cause the emperor to be unhappy."

Feng Yibo interjected, and then briefly explained the matter again.

After listening to what Feng Yibo said, Li Shouzhong did tap his palm lightly.

"By the way, look at my memory!"

After Li Shouzhong finished speaking, he got up and walked back.

While walking, he said: "If you don't mention it, I will forget it. There is still a big thing I haven't told you."

Feng Yibo was taken aback for a moment, thinking suspiciously,

What did you mention?
Li Shouzhong took out a package and began to search inside.

After a long time, in the innermost mezzanine, I took out a piece of red paper.

This style looks familiar to Feng Yibo.

"This is it!"
