Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

When Wan An returned home, his son Wan Yi hurriedly greeted him: "Father entered the palace today, why?"

Wan An first asked for a towel to wipe off his sweat, and then said out of breath, "Your father almost won't come back today!"

Wan Yi's expression changed drastically, and he asked in panic, "Why did father say such a thing?"

Wan An shook his head, his face paled: "The emperor questioned my relationship with Li Tai, and said that I am good at dancing, and I have contacts with Zhaode Palace and Fang's family. If you didn't move out Xu Pu who you asked me to befriend, I also expressed my sincerity, I am afraid that today's affairs will not be easy."

Wan Yi pondered for a moment, his face uncertain.After a while, he said: "The emperor beat father today, could it be that he saved it for reuse?"

Wan An was slightly taken aback: "Why did you say that?"

"It's not a matter of a day or two for my father to make friends with Li Tai and others. Why did the emperor get angry today? Since ancient times, the collusion between foreign ministers and internal officials has never had a good end. Niu Yu and Huaining Hou Sun Tong were demoted at the beginning, which has already explained The emperor's bottom line. Unless—”

Wan An angrily glared at his son Wan Yi: "When are you still playing tricks?"

"Unless my father takes refuge in the emperor and becomes a loyal servant of the emperor to solve his problems, he will be free from worries."

Wan An sighed: "This is easier said than done!"

Wan Yi frowned and said: "Now there are three people in the cabinet, two from Jiangxi faction and one from Jiangnan faction. None of them are representatives of our Beiren faction. Concubine Bai Xian was recommended to the palace by Li Xiange's elder, the emperor may intend to promote the Beiren faction. It's just that now the Northerners have no leader, and my father's prestige is not enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd. If you want to sit securely, you have to get close to the emperor and obey the emperor's order."

Wan Anchang sighed: "Perhaps, the emperor has taken a fancy to the old man's ability to dance well. Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, is above the old man in terms of qualifications and official positions. He just used internal affairs to persuade the emperor. I am afraid that he will offend the emperor. do not like."

Wan An suddenly remembered something, and asked Wan Yi: "By the way, what happened to the Fang family?"

Wan Yi said: "It is said that Ms. Fang has left Beijing for Jiangnan..."

Wan An frowned and said: "If you try to figure out the holy will, Li Tai's road is probably not good, you can only take the road of Zhaode Palace. Let your mother communicate with the Wan family more. By the way, the Fang family should not stop. "

……

Zhu Jianshen quickly issued an imperial edict that Wan An, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, joined the cabinet to participate in the maintenance.After promoting several Beiren factions to appease him, he announced the appointment of Yao Kui as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Both the Jiangnan faction and the Beiren faction were smiling.

And Huichang Hou Sun Jizong was furious at home!
Sun Lian invited his fourth uncle, Sun Xuzong, to persuade the Marquis of Huichang early on.

"Zhuzi! When Shang Lu and others abolished his crown prince position, he ignored the past and fought fiercely with Jiangnan officials! I, the uncle who helped him to the top, didn't even give him a place in the cabinet?!"

Sun Xuzong comforted him in a gentle voice: "Brother, calm down. Then Li Tai is the adopted son of an internal official, and his qualifications are still young. It is too early to join the cabinet now."

The Marquis of Huichang snorted angrily.

Sun Xuzong didn't bother with this topic, but brought up the new salt law: "The emperor is now continuing to clean up the salt law in Lianghuai, which is quite effective.

According to news from the frontier, the Salt Law is now in effect, and there are many rules for grain and cloth donations.

And brother Lian's pharmaceutical workshop is also on track, and the income is no less than that of Occupy Zhongyan, who entrapd border guards.

The relatives made no complaints.On the contrary, it is said that the current new medicines are very effective in treating diseases, so praise Brother Lian for a good meal! "

Sun Lian on the side touched his nose in embarrassment.This is not his credit, but Fang Yuanzhi's.It was he who was so angry that he insisted on making a move.Instead, he made the right bet.

Sun Jizong glanced at Sun Lian, the son-in-law who was already somewhat heroic, and his face softened a lot.

He originally thought that Sun Lian was a waste, but he didn't expect that in the past year or so, he has actually done a lot of practical things.

With common interests, these old in-laws will unite around their Sun family, and the Sun family will not fall so easily.

At this time, Sun Zan strode in: "Father, how can we let this matter go easily? We have been planning for so long..."

Sun Jizong glared at Sun Zan, who immediately stopped talking.

Sun Xuzong's eyelids twitched, and he said: "In the final analysis, it is the Jiangnan faction that makes things difficult for us. The emperor is just discussing the matter. Big brother, younger brother thinks that the Xu family in Jiangnan is too simple. If nothing else, how did Cui Gong become an official?" Shangshu was four months old, and my mother passed away..."

Sun Zan's face darkened, and his eyes became dark: "I heard that Xu Chun, the second wife of the Xu family, once set foot in the rivers and lakes. At that time, I wanted to follow his line to bring down Shang Ren, but who knew that he married the daughter of the Peng family in Jiangxi, a Jiangnan faction. Formal marriage with the Jiangxi faction."

Sun Zan said suddenly: "Then Shang Lu and Yao Kui are clean and honest officials, and they can't catch anything! I don't believe that there is nothing dirty behind them! Someone must be planning behind them and helping them!"

Sun Jizong narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's been more than two years, and the literati in Jiangnan have become more and more powerful in the court! Now it's useless to just overthrow the Holy One. It's better to focus on the Xu family. Once the Xu family falls, the Jiangnan literati will have no leader." , it will become loose sand like the Beiren faction, nothing to fear, the emperor will be a toothless tiger without any support!"

Sun Zan said: "The girl from the Fang family was hired by the emperor to be a treasure. She has a deep connection with the Xu family. Do we want to..." He raised his palm and made a chopping motion.

Sun Lian looked nervous and wanted to speak, but saw his fourth uncle, Sun Xuzong, glance at him.

Sun Xuzong smiled faintly: "The pharmaceutical workshop of the Fang family girl is not on the right track, and there are also our interests in it..."

Sun Jizong closed his eyes: "What can a little girl do? She still has the grace of saving your fourth uncle's life, and she can't avenge her kindness and make those who have taken refuge with us laugh. Hmph, let them be proud."

……

Not long after, Xu Xuan, the second master of the Xu family, suddenly fell ill and died.

Xu Xuan, who has resigned from office for many years, is the core backbone of the Jiangnan faction who is in charge of the overall situation in the capital.His sudden death made Jiangnan faction officials feel in danger.

Soon, a memorial pointed directly at Huichang Hou Sun Jizong, saying that he was appointed general because of his foreign relatives. He participates.

Zhu Jian stroked the imperial decree deeply and pondered for a long time.

All the words in the imperial decree came to his heart.

He knew that this was a big gift package given to him by the highly valued Jiangnan faction.

However, does he dare to accept this gift package easily?
After going to bed at night, he couldn't help but ask Fang Yuanzhi: "Yuanzhi, you said I can let Huichanghou stay idle like this, is it feasible?"

Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said: "The emperor already has the answer in his heart, so he insisted on asking me, is it deliberately embarrassing?"

Zhu Jianshen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you see that?" (End of this chapter)
