Chapter 103 Dad, let's not mess with him, please!
Where Jiao Fang’s mansion is located, it is a place where officials of the third rank or above in the court are qualified to live.
Before serving as Tongzheng Envoy, Jiao Fang had been a third-rank official in the Zhanshi Mansion, and was also a second-rank prince Shaobao.
Therefore, after the death of the eldest son of the old emperor, who was posthumously named Prince Dehui in the 38th year of Chengzhi, he was demoted by the old emperor to the Tongzheng Department, who had no real power, as the Tongzheng Department.
But this is also a senior official of the third rank, and the mansion he originally rewarded was not taken back.
The neighbors of Jiao Mansion are all mansions of high-ranking officials. On the left is the family of the prince's tutor Wang Shu, and on the right is the family of the grand tutor Ma Wensheng. Ma Wensheng has two sons. The eldest is better, and the second brother has made a mistake. Tonight, Ma Wensheng did not go to the palace for a banquet. The family is spending a reunion year at home.
But Wang Shu is at home.
Wang Shu's son Wang Chengyu is also here. Wang Chengyu, who is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, is also a literary master. His knowledge is respected by Cheng and Zhu, and is based on Confucius and Yan as the standard. This is the attitude of studying and teaching.
It should be said that Wang Shu and his son have extremely high reputation in the contemporary scholastic world, but unlike Wang Shu, Wang Chengyu is quite timid. He can scold the powerful but not very capable of scolding the "powerful ministers" like Wei Yang, because the powerful military strength is not very good. Wei Xiaolang is the kind who holds hundreds of thousands of troops. He is an alien among the powerful ministers.
Jiao Fang's house shouted, and Wang Chengyu, who was preparing to enjoy the emperor's banquet, was shocked. He stood up and hurriedly closed the door, and ordered his servants and others to cover the unnecessary lights. While hurriedly, he informed Wang Shu and asked him to be careful.
Wang Shu was studying in the back house. When he saw his eldest son coming in in a panic, he couldn't help but say annoyed: "A man of sixty years old is still so unstable?"
Wang Chengyu coughed lightly and I was only in my early fifties!
"Why are you panic?" Wang Shu put down the book and sat down before asking.
Wang Chengyu sighed, "I don't know why the Jiao family got disgusted by that person. He came here on the big side."
"Who?" Wang Shu was puzzled.
Wang Chengyu stammered for a while before answering with difficulty: "It's Wei Yang."
"Oh!" Wang Shu was also stunned.
If you are not afraid of the heavens or earth, you are afraid that the devil will come to you.
He has lived for more than ninety years and has once been in a position of high power.
Therefore, he has nothing to be afraid of.
But he had no choice but to face that devil.
I always bring a thousand people to the door for dinner and I also want to eat. If I don’t give it, I will take all your rice, flour, grain and oil to you.
How can I reason with him?
"What are he doing? Jiao Fang has always been timid and afraid of things. He is also an extremely cunning person with two faces. How could he offend the Western Army at its peak?" Wang Shu stood up and said, "Let's go out and have a look."
Wang Chengyu was shocked: "Why should my father get angry?"
"You don't understand!" Wang Shu said sternly, "Even if Jiao Fang is not good, he is still a third-rank official of the court. He is the face of the court and the emperor's minister."
As he spoke, he went out. Seeing the dark lights in the yard, the servants were trembling, and some even hugged under the corner of the wall and listened quietly.
Wang Shu was both angry and laughed.
Why are these people so naive? If that person really wants to come to find fault, with his martial arts, I am afraid he will be the only one in the world. What's the use of hiding?
Wang Shu shouted: "Open the middle door and light the lights. I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
What are you afraid of?
Gu Qian
Depending on your age, the devil is not willing to pay attention to you.
But we are still young!
When Wang Chengyu saw the old man's beard, he was angry. He knew that it was not difficult to disobey at this moment, so he had to open the middle door in person. He ordered the servants to light up the lights and stand in the yard and listen quietly to the movement.
Wang Shu didn't say anything. He was curious about what the old man who had no use to find Jiao Fang, who had no real power, did.
"Father, if we are looking for trouble, what should we do?" Wang Chengyu asked quietly.
Wang Shu pondered for a moment before whispering: "I will make the decision on everything. Don't speak out. It's a big deal to alarm this person."
What?
"Your Majesty has long planned to abolish the Six Divisions of Nanjing and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and to completely place power in the capital. This is good in itself. Those nobles oppose it because they are afraid of losing power. However, when the Western Army enters the capital, the cabinet is naive. You should leave a glimmer of life for the court and the emperor. Once the Western Army fights in the capital, the emperor should have a safe retreat. Therefore, this person must not let the New Year be ruling for the New Year because of your reasons." Wang Shu said.
Wang Chengyu was very surprised. Why are there so many things here?
"You Minister of Revenue is too sorry for the ancestors who set up this position." Wang Shu scolded disdainfully, "Being an official is not as good as doing knowledge. Being a master should pay attention to everything and not think about yourself. That is certainly a gentleman. But if you can keep a useful body and leave a chance to do things, that is even more what a gentleman should do. A saint knows that he should strive for self-improvement due to desperate situations, let alone that you have just encountered a small pond. How can you be so careless?" Wang Shu said.
Wang Chengyu suddenly felt a little envious of Wei Yang.
I heard that this guy outside Emon of Akajin Mongolia made his father angry, so there was no need to worry about disobedience or disobedience.
"I started to swear at me since I was five years old, but now I am in my fifties and still swear at me. Is there any reason?" Wang Chengyu thought in distractedly.
In less than a moment, footsteps came from afar, and someone said, "Wang Shouren is too brave. It's dark here. Who knows what kind of traitor will hide? He doesn't send someone to patrol. What should I do if there is any problem?"
It was the voice of a woman.
Wang Chengyu whispered: "Nie Ziyi, deputy chief of Jinyiwei."
"Hmph, this is not a good woman, just like that bold bandit," Wang Shu cursed in a low voice.
He also heard Wei Yang's orders: "There are secret spies from all over the country provoking everywhere, and there are illegal people inside. The living here are old ministers. Once someone is held hostage or even assassinated, the court will inevitably be shocked. At that time, a great battle between our army and the kings will cost His Majesty the spirit. In a moment, the Five City Military and Mahals asked the Five City Military Office to arrange two posts here, and no less than fifty people. The factory guard asked His Majesty to issue an order and ask these residences to send people to make a clear statistics on the population of the mansion."
"I'm afraid it's not good, and I'll be told that we'll monitor them again." Nie Ziyi snorted.
"Think about their lives. If you don't accept it, don't blame others if you are assassinated." Wei Yang said.
Wang Shu took a step forward, I have a lot of words to criticize you!
Wang Chengyu said in shock: "Father, I am New Year's Eve, kind, kind."
Wang Shu took the opportunity to stop his pace: "Then let's bypass him once."
Wang Chengyu laughed secretly, and the servants laughed secretly together.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shu said again: "After the New Year, I will criticize this boy again."
Wang Chengyu's knees became weak. Why don't I kowtow a few more times for you?
Wang Shu couldn't care about it. After thinking about it, he planned to take the initiative to provoke the devil who no one could afford to offend.
Tonight, either you beat me to death or I will be beaten to death by you…
Something seems wrong?
