11. Confinement and Retreat
He didn't have time to think of the refiner, because Huo Zhongtang, the young eunuch, then expressed another trouble to himself: When Yang Menlang was a Sima in Daozhou, I asked my family to take care of him from all sides. He also agreed to help my parents and brothers find a few foreign officials with salary and clothes after returning to the capital. But now Yang Menlang seems to have completely forgotten this matter.
Gao Yue was actually like a mirror in his heart. He smiled bitterly, looking at Cui Qing and Cui Shiba who was busy in the stable. This honest man also had kindness to Yang Yan, but he was also forgotten by the Baqiao Post Office.
So Gao Yue comforted Huo Zhongtang and said a few words, and before leaving, he gave Cui Shiba another ten-spoon coins, saying that he knew that the 18th brother needed money urgently. The horse-hoof gold was given by his father-in-law, and the money was given by his third son of Gao. I was just a mere trial at the censor of the palace, and his salary was small. I hope that 18th brother would not be surprised.
This moved Cui Qing to tears, and he said that he didn't know how to repay Shi Yu Gao in the future...
In the evening, Gao Yue had just entered the Cui Mansion on Shengpingfang and handed over the mount to the servants, and heard his father-in-law in the middle hall getting furious.
At the previous court meeting, Yang Yan's party members formally submitted a request, first, to let Han Huan, who had just been removed from his post as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, go out of Suzhou, and second, to directly put the salt li in the second chi northwest of the Ministry of Revenue, directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue Du Branch.
Liu Yan strongly opposed this. He believed that since the salt profit in the northwest had been recovered, a salt and iron transport envoy should be set up there, which was in charge of himself and used for special purposes.
Li Binshi, the palace court, asked Liu Yan where to use the northwest salt? Liu Yan replied slowly: Yuanzhou is now deserted by the Xifan. Now, he can build cities and farms in Liangyuan, Baili and Lingtai, south of Jingzhou, and set it as "Yuanzhou Xingzai" (similar to Qiaozhou, county, and county in the Eastern Jin Dynasty). The capital can be located in Bailicheng and serve as a supporter with the Anxi camp in Jingzhou. The court sent a special person to "Yuanzhou Xingtian Inspector, the Inspector of the Yuanzhou Xingtian, and the county magistrate of Baili County". The Anxi camp will allocate 3,000 soldiers from the Anxi camp, and the Zhongshu School will add another 2,000 soldiers, a total of 5,000 people, plus a thousand five hundred civilians. The Sinong Temple will promote the military camp. In this way, a large amount of food and grass can be stored for the northwest army in two or three years, and then a counterattack against Pingliang in Yuanzhou will be successful.
But Yang Yan and his fellow disciples rose up to attack him. They all said that setting up a "Yuanzhou Travel" in Baili City is purely unnecessary. They can directly send 5,000 troops to advance to Pingliang, build a city on the line of Danzheng Gorge, and then pass the old plan of the Yuan Dynasty. You can eat enough in the military station of Pingliang County without adding any extra money. You can do "Yuanzhou Travel" and spend money and time.
The two factions did not give in to each other in the court. Cui Ning supported Liu Yan because of his previous resentment, while many officials in the Secretariat supported Yang Yan. In the end, the two sides had no consensus and parted in disagreement.
My father-in-law was furious in the hall, while Gao Yue quietly took off his boots, then lowered his hands and sat on the corridor listening.
He knew in his heart that Liu Yan's official position of "The Inspector of Yuanzhou in Yingtian is in charge of the court, and the magistrate of Baili County" and his support for the Northwest military farming plan were actually set up specifically for himself.
That day before going to Jiannan, Liu Yan once said to himself at Pan Yan's house, "Yi Song, you have ideals and ambitions and have not discarded it in your luggage. I can't bear to put it on the shelf. I will support you."
After a while, Cui Ning, who was glaring at her eyes, shouted loudly when she saw her son-in-law sitting there, "Gaolang, you are back just right. Please help me understand the right and wrong."
On the other side, my mother-in-law Liu walked over unhappily and hit Cui Ning's arm, "A Ni had prepared dishes in the west hall of the central hall, and waited for Gao Lang to come back from Shu. You go back to your east hall!"
"Oh." Cui Ning followed Liu's family and walked towards the east hall.
"A father and mother." Gao Yue bowed and called Cui Ning and Liu softly, and then said to them, "After going to A Ni's place to have a meal, the son-in-law will come to the East Hall to visit. I want to tell him some important things."
"Yes!" Cui Ning nodded.
In the corridor of the West Hall, Zhihui walked out first, "Brother, you are back safely, the mistress can wait inside."
Entering the porch, "Songqing!" Yun Shao smiled so much that his eyes turned into a shiny crescent moon. He hurriedly knelt on the mat again, pointing to the dishes on the table and said, "I haven't seen Songqing for almost three months. Today I will let Songqing see what A Ni's cooking skills have improved."
"Didn't you let Zhihui help?" Gao Yue joked.
"Songqing is really a poor minister." Yun Shao said angrily.
On the other side, Zhihui also flexibly lit the stove, picked up the whimpering Sibao and threw it outside the west hall. Acuo, who had just accumulated a drooping hair, dragged the sound of wooden clogs, held the soup just cooked by the mistress, and placed it on the table.
"A Ni, I don't need to divide the case." Gao Yue means that the couple has a meal together.
As a result, the first bite of soup almost made Gao Yue choke. He hurriedly grabbed the wine cup and drank it several times, because it was the only one on the table that had not been manually handed by A Ni Xiaosu.
But when Gao Yue saw Anibaba's eyes, he calmly held a spoon and scooped several sips of the soup and drank it. "Oh, although it was so salty, when he encountered this smell, he knew that he was going home, because I knew that Ani would usually add salt three times in the soup without knowing it."
Seeing that his husband's face was not changing, Yun Shao thought that this time he had succeeded, so he scooped it up, and it was so good that he almost bit his tongue.
Then the couple was stunned for a while and started to smile foolishly at each other.
In the twilight of winter, the water surface on the Dongcheng Release Pond had already frozen and solidified. In the crack of the door panel of the front hall of Tui Lezhai, Jingsheng Ran Sanniang blinked and looked at the situation outside carefully.
On the wall where the message was left, including the Tuilezhai door panel, not only were there dense papers, but there were actually several arrow feathers inserted on it. Several feet outside, a group of people were carrying horizontal knives, some rubbed their hands and walked around the frosty ground, and some were squatting there, with their eyes fixed at the door of Tuilezhai, and their expressions were kind.
The horizontal sword was not a banned weapon in the Tang Dynasty, but was sold in markets in various prefectures and states.
"It's over, it's over, this is a camp waiting!" Ran Sanniang complained, hurried to the yard, and said to Wu Cailuan, who was sitting on Hu's bed.
"If you go out now, you may be killed." Wu Cailuan's face was stagnant, her hands crossed under her chin, and she made a judgment like this.
Then there was a whimper, and the master almost cried, "Gao Yisong, Gao Yisong, even if I, Wu Cailuan, have some commissions and money from you, I will not be trapped by you like this. The second editor of Ayang Hou Enchou Ji you wrote was because of giving Yun Niang the thief disciples. Although the 3,000 copies of the printed ones were sold out, do you know how many people blocked the door later?"
The other scholars gritted their teeth and surrounded Wu Cailuan. "The master of refining, I heard that Yi Song has returned to Pingfang. The only feasible way now is to find Yi Song and ask him to edit this time and then publish it."
