That little fly

When the elder brother was still alive, Ji Zhao showed his strength and voluntarily went to the frontier coastal defense, showing that he did not rely on his favored status to separate himself from his elder brother.After the eldest brother passed away, various families competed for the heirloom, and there was a turmoil, but Ji Zhao was instructed to just stay with the emperor's father, and not jump up and down to play with the dog, plus the deceased mother's affection.Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Ji Zhao has no hope of succeeding to the throne, he still has to be a free king in a fief. How can there be any reason to spend his whole life nesting in a remote mountain valley?Therefore, staying away from the center and managing the general affairs of a place can only be exercise and transition, not finalization or distribution.

As for why it is a remote and nameless Xiongshan County thousands of miles away from the imperial capital...

"It was Shi Zilu who told me, 'Xiongshan County in Shufu is a good place.'" Duke Ding repeated verbatim.

Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, then he frowned.Shi Ke is definitely one of the top three old foxes in the imperial court's slippery list.During the civil and military dynasties, I had never heard of anyone who could establish a close relationship with him, so he was Emperor Jiayou's most trusted courtier.But, "Why is he giving you advice?"

Ding Guogong didn't understand Shi Ke's inexplicable words at first, but out of caution, he went to check the information. Xiongshan County is a remote place that is neither poor nor rich, and the situation is stable. The folk customs are simple and the natural conditions are not bad.Because he had done his homework beforehand, when Emperor Jiayou discussed with Duke Ding about choosing an errand for Ji Zhao to practice, Duke Ding suddenly came to his senses.

The most important thing for a successful king is "stability". You may not understand military affairs, but you must not understand general affairs.For a 15-year-old prince, and his father is in the prime of his life, instead of being noble and quiet in the center of the court, waiting to be picked on by the emperor every day, it is better to go to the local area and stay away from the turmoil of the court. In the insignificant Xiongshan County, it would be best for a 15-year-old boy to practice his hands. As long as he manages the general government for three years smoothly, it will be an achievement if he does not make mistakes.From this point of view, the place Shi Ke mentioned is very good!

When Emperor Jiayou communicated with his son, Ji Zhao expressed his expectation of keeping a low profile and being pragmatic.Emperor Jiayou felt that he was not ambitious or high-spirited, which made Emperor Jiayou feel very heart-warming. Later, as expected, Ji Zhao was assigned by Emperor Jiayou to this Xiongshan County, which is far away from the mountains.

When Ji Zhao rode out of Beijing, his confusion was gone, and the road under his feet became more and more firm.

Ji Zhao was not the only prince who received errands. In fact, when Ji Zhao was assigned to Xiongshan County, he had two elder brothers who were actively managing the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and the errands of two brothers were also on the agenda. , still arguing, no final decision.

After Emperor Jiayou first showed signs of wanting his sons to do errands, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty knew that their sage was going to use the errands to test the princes to save the best. Immediately, they fought like black-eyed chickens and the few big relatives couldn't care less It's time to fight for fame, let's grab the real power first.With great power in your hands, are you afraid you won't be able to overwhelm your opponent?

Except for Ji Zhao, none of the princes chose to go abroad to study common affairs, and under the guidance of the mother's family behind them, they all drool at the six departments.The Six Departments of the Center are the centers of power in the world, and the most lucrative jobs among them are money, soldiers, and official hats.The foreign relatives must be careful and selective, firmly grasp the central power department, and strive to expand contacts, increase power, and prepare for the battle for reserves... The abacus is pretty good, but the problem is, you really think the world Yamen is your home right?

Emperor Jiayou set the tone, and the cabinet made strong checks.Just like Shi Ke, how could he allow the ambitious princes and the even more ambitious family behind them to reach into his bowl?In the cabinet, a group of old foxes who have become elites each hold a share, watching with cold eyes, and don't have too many small tricks.Therefore, the second and fifth princes who ran the most were all tragic.They grabbed the opportunity to work in the most popular Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, but the errands assigned to them by the cabinet were like a basin of ice water, which made them feel cold-they were assigned to positions equivalent to the seventh rank (Ji Zhao's county magistrate It is also the seventh rank, which is called equal treatment.) The position of the center is inherently more practical, and then you are stuffed into the position of a small official, either as a post, or as the master book. Just serve tea and pass water, and experience a fart?

Later, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince slammed on the brakes, and the relatives who came to their senses also began to adjust their positions.But it is too difficult to find a low-level real power position.Rank seven, the county magistrate is the biggest, but what if the old foxes in the cabinet exile the prince to a remote county with a wave of his hand?Really tangled.

The princes themselves were indecisive, and those officials who tried to climb the dragon and the phoenix were frightened by the iron fist of the cabinet, and dared not express their opinions easily.Therefore, the flames of this competition for reserves have been extinguished.

This is all for later.

At present, only Ji Zhao has made a plan for the future early.

Shufu Mountain was high and far away, so Ji Zhao's itinerary was kept very secret. The emperor and Duke Ding had to consider his personal safety.Moreover, Emperor Jiayou selected Xiongshan County as a training ground for his son. It seemed unintentional, but in fact it had a purpose.The details of the small landlord, Master Shui, were finally found out.It's not that there is a problem, but that he is too innocent, so innocent that it is impossible to say that he has anything to do with Fei Tian'er.But the thing is, he's really hooked.Not only does he have a seemingly inextricable relationship with Mr. Ren Shu, but he also has a relationship with Shi Ke, and the last point is that Shi Ke's status as a Fei Tianer has been acquiesced by himself.

Therefore, the emperor had long planned to send a group of Jinwu guards to Xiongshan County in Shufu to investigate carefully. It happened that Ji Zhao was willing to experience the local government. Xiongshan County was very suitable in all aspects. Emperor Jiayou followed suit. Let Ji Zhao go out of the capital with the Jinwu Guard, which can deceive people's eyes and ears, and then the Jinwu Guard can protect his son if he stays there. If Zhao'er can persuade the little landlord to ask Fei Tianer to assist him in the future, this heir will be perfect But that's all.

So, when Mrs. Shui went round and round and brought Mr. Renshu's important research materials back to the imperial capital, Ji Zhao had just packed his schedule and led a team of Jinwu Guards out of the palace gate and headed straight for Xiongshan County.

Shi Ke very leisurely promised Master Zhong to come to Yi Academy to give lectures often. This guy was running to meet his grandson by chance. As a result, it was delayed from a year ago to a year later, and finally made the trip. Shi Ke went there twice in a row, but he didn't even meet him once. In the past few days, the old man has been scratching his heart and liver. When he was in a bad mood, he encountered someone coming to burn Mr. Zhong's hot stove.

It's not over yet!

How many days has Mr. Zhong been put on the fire?

Ever since they finished their heart-to-heart talks with the officials that day, their cabinet has become busy, and they have changed their ways to withdraw firewood for Li Chu. A blind man was caught by him.Shi Ke doesn't care about you, the second prince's wife-in-law, the fourth prince's uncle, and he went back face to face. Not only did you go back, but he also warned the other party clearly, I wrote you down in the small book, and pray that you won't be in my hands for the rest of your life. inside.

"Zi Lü Wei really doesn't need to be so angry." Mr. Zhong comforted Shi Ke in this way, and his heart was really moved by the words.This is called friendship between gentlemen, since ancient times sending charcoal in the snow is a rare friendship.He has a good relationship with Shi Ke, but he didn't expect Shi Zilu to help his family.Although an important cabinet minister like Shi Ke is not afraid of the prince, he will not offend easily. To put it bluntly, who knows which cloud in the sky will rain?

"I don't know what Lu Shanbo is thinking," Shi Ke, who felt a little more relaxed after scolding him, ended with a cold snort, "The younger generation is such a worthless, embarrassing thing."

"This is hard to fill, and it has nothing to do with teaching." Mr. Zhong sneered, with a unique scholarly demeanor, "Come, come, don't mention those spoilers, and fight this old man."

"I'm very angry now, you can be careful."

"I don't think you are angry, but you are angry." Mr. Zhong joked in a good mood.He met his opponent and was in a good mood. When Master Zhong played chess, he hummed a few ditty tunes. Shi Ke thought it was familiar at first, but when he heard it, he suddenly remembered that this is not the cat hero that Luzi sang Can God travel five hundred miles to kill demons and eliminate demons?

Shi Ke, "What are you humming about?" He also put on a look of disgust.

"Hmm... oh?" Master Zhong realized the tune he was humming, and said with a smile, "This is a new one for this old man. I taught him the Book of Songs, and he taught me nursery rhymes. This is called teaching and learning."

"Hey, look at this beauty. A new apprentice?" The jealous little sour water bubbled in his heart.

Master Zhong, "Uh..."

After Shi Ke pushed, his small eyes flashed, "Why, is this still guarding against me?"

"It's not about guarding against you, I have to guard against you old thieves. Back then Xie Guangzhang also fell in love with other children." Mr. Zhong rudely swallowed Shi Ke's two sons, "You guys, no one should rob me, this is I close my disciples."

"Yo, this is really good! Hey? What's the matter, you accept such a big thing as a closed disciple, why didn't I listen to you before?"

"No big deal." At the beginning of spring, Li Cheng stayed at Mrs. Zhong's own home, and then the two families had a meal together. "Isn't it all in time? My place was a mess a few days ago." Mr. Zhong thought that Shui Qingqian was a child from an ordinary wealthy family in the vicinity, and it was not good to get involved in the current situation.

"So caring, when will you call someone to let me have a look?" Shi Ke, an old fox, said routinely.

"If you come here often, you can always run into each other. Let's talk about it first. Let's see if it's ok, but don't abduct me."

"whispering sound!"

Shi Ke persevered and continued to come to Yi Academy to give lectures, and sure enough, he succeeded in blocking his precious little Luzi next time.

On this day, when Shi Ke finished his lecture and wandered back to Mr. Zhong's study, he saw his grandson sitting there steadily writing, and there was no one else in the room.

"Heron."

"Grandpa? Grandpa (≧▽≦)/" rushed over, Little Luzi was not stingy with his excitement and hugs——grandpa is the best!Um.A few days ago, Shi Ke entrusted someone to give him a new version of the cat hero.

"Baby Luzi, I really miss Grandpa." Shi Ke lifted the child and didn't want to let go...

When Master Zhong came back from the outside, he saw that the Chief Law Officer was playing jigsaw puzzles with his little disciple. The two were talking and laughing, and they had a very good relationship.

"Grandpa Zhong is back."

"Call sir." Mr. Zhong corrected the water clear and shallow for the 120th eighth time.

"gentlemen."

"Well, the words are finished? Do you know who this adult is?"

"I know. This is grandpa." <(￣︶￣)>

"…………"

Well, in the eyes of his young disciples, anyone with a beard is a grandpa.Glaring at his old friend secretly, this stone fox really has become a fox, and he took his little apprentice's heart away so quickly.Mr. Zhong felt a little sour, but after thinking about it, Shi Ke's lonely family may have been lonely for a long time.Speaking of which, his little disciple is really smart and clever, seeing how he coaxed this first-rank official in the court, his face is about to bloom.

Mrs. Shui came back, and the owner of Shui Village was scolded by his wife without any accident.

When Mrs. Shui was about to leave, her precious little heron had bright feathers and cute jade snow. Even if she rolled around in the mud, she would still look like a nobleman. She has only been away from home for a few days. Her son It's as messy as a little beggar on the street.

The hair is frizzy and looks like it has not been maintained.

There is also a small face, and small hands, which are rough!The face was blown red and bloodshot by the spring breeze. You took your son to the fields to do farm work?

No sophistry!

These pants are also half an inch shorter.

What does it mean that the child's spring clothes are not ready yet?When is this... use last year's autumn clothes to deal with it?Doesn't your son grow taller?

How was the clothes washed, when was the oil stain on the skirt, why are you still wearing it when it is dirty?Wash it clean... You call it clean, call me the person in charge of washing!

And the shoes...

Don't talk back!

When Mrs. Shui saw her son's room, Gu Guaren suddenly felt dizzy.

The master of Shui Zhuang winked and instructed several Kunlun slaves who were blinded by fright, "I have no eyesight, and the bedding and furnishings have not been changed. How can books be in the bedroom... Do not put toys on the antique shelf... This Flowers in a vase, pick up two peach branches..." Turning to Mrs. Shui, she explained, "You don't know your son, he doesn't let others touch his things, who dares to touch them?"

Mrs. Water: It's my fault, really, I can so easily believe that men will take care of children!
