Scholar and old attack

"Victory in the frontier, wipe out [-] grassland troops, and take Uzhda's leader!"

With the good news of Yiqi entering Beijing, the people of Kyoto instantly felt that the dark clouds that had been hanging over their heads disappeared.

Frontier Victory!Annihilate the [-] steppe army!Take Uzhda's head!Each is big news.

Immediately, all the people in the capital entered a state of ebullition and encouragement.

This is the most beautiful war fought since the Ming Dynasty entered the low period.

In the past, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not win a victory without heavy losses. There was never such a complete wipeout.

The prosperity of a country is often only reflected in wars. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was strong, but it always gave the people a kind of unsteady thinking.

This great victory in the frontier has completely made the people feel that their country has become stronger.

"Okay, okay!" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his expression of excitement was beyond words, he patted the dragon chair again and again, and said three hellos in succession.

"Your Majesty, this is God's blessing to my Ming Dynasty." Civil and military officials also echoed.

The emperor's excitement was instantly cooled by the words of the group of officials. He squinted at the officials above the main hall and dismissed them, "God bless, God bless, this is what I have heard the most since I came to the throne. God bless, if everything is left to God to bless, what use is it that I need you, a group of civil and military officials."

The last words of the emperor made all civil and military officials feel ashamed.

Of course they knew that Jiang Jingyuan's blessing was the result of this great frontier victory, but Jiang Jingyuan held a high official position at such a young age, and everything he did was unattainable.

If it goes on like this, the merits are so high that no one dares to mention it.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!" At this time, a censor boldly stepped out and impeached the emperor, "Your Majesty, I impeach Jiang Jingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, for appointing his wife as the official of the newspaper."

"Since ancient times, the backyard is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the iron law of our ancestors. Master Jiang's actions violate the precepts of our ancestors. It is extremely bad." The censor said, gnashing his teeth, as if Jiang Jingyuan had committed a heinous crime.

Although he admitted in his heart that Jiang Jingyuan was a capable person, but he was so ignorant of his ancestors' precepts and acted so rampantly that it still made the censors very unhappy.

"Your Majesty will punish you for being so treacherous and outrageous." At this time, several officials came out to agree.

The emperor's eyes were always downcast, did he really not know what Jiang Jingyuan did?

No, he knew it, but he never cared about it.

These censors also know, why don't say it sooner or later, but wait until now to say it.

Isn't the purpose just to attack Jiang Jingyuan and use credit to eliminate crimes, so as to reduce his credit. This is the usual tactic used by the court to suppress people.

Of course, if Jiang Jingyuan didn't make a contribution this time, what awaited him would be a violent storm!

This time the emperor was silent, Jiang Jingyuan is indeed capable, but his credit has indeed increased too fast, if this continues, there will be no seal and no reward.

"Then Jiang Aiqing's merits will not be remembered this time, and others will reward them according to their merits." The emperor thought for a moment, and said lightly, without even mentioning how to deal with Xu Shuizhou, and said, "Retire."

All the officials looked at each other, they came to attack Jiang Jingyuan, so they retreated so lightly?

It is a big taboo to meddle in politics in the backyard, the emperor doesn't even bother to ask, maybe he is a little too partial to Jiang Jingyuan.

The censors wanted to say something more, but the emperor strode out of the hall, and they could only look at the emperor's back and were speechless.

Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Jiang Jingyuan, who was enjoying the coolness brought by the autumn wind, glanced at Xu Changming, who was staring at him unwillingly, at the back of the carriage with ease.

Opening his mouth slightly, he accepted the peeled tangerines fed by Xu Shuizhou, the sweet juice burst in his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Sweet?"

Xu Shuizhou asked a little nervously, the tangerines were given by the people on the road. He hadn't tasted it yet, so he was afraid of the sourness.

"Well, it's so sore that it hurts a tooth, you can eat it after peeling it off, don't waste it." Jiang Jingyuan covered one side of his mouth, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with some discomfort.

"It's sour, then don't eat it." Xu Shuizhou frowned, obviously the tangerines in this area are very famous, how could it be sour, so he casually dropped a piece in his mouth.

The sweet gravy immediately filled his mouth, Xu Shuizhou was taken aback, looked at Jiang Jingyuan and said doubtfully, "It's not sour, it's so sweet."

"Maybe my food is a bit sour, so you can eat it all." Jiang Jingyuan's eyes dodged a little, but his mouth was firm.

"Oh, then I'll eat them all, don't be greedy." Xu Shuizhou said with a smile, and put most of the tangerines in his hand into his mouth. The sweet feeling made the corners of his mouth curl up in a good mood.

I don't know if it's sweet in my mouth or sweet in my heart.

"Eat it all... um..." Jiang Jingyuan felt something was blocked in his mouth as soon as he finished speaking, and it was Xu Shuizhou who stuffed the remaining tangerines into his mouth.

"In this way, half of you and half of me will not suffer, so you don't have to work hard to find a way to make me eat them all." Xu Shuizhou had a happy smile on his face.

"Silly, you can only eat [-]% of what you can eat. You are at a loss." Jiang Jingyuan rubbed the top of Xu Shuizhou's head. His hair is still as smooth as before. It is not obvious that he is the one who has given birth to two children.

"Where is the loss, it is obviously a profit. If you don't eat it, I will eat it all, no matter how sweet it is, I will not be happy, so you will be happy, and I will be happy too." Xu Shuizhou shook his head, not feeling that he was at a disadvantage.

"Okay, next time I will leave half of everything for you, not all of it." Jiang Jingyuan squinted his eyes with a smile, pulled Xu Shuizhou's curled up legs onto his own, and massaged him.

"After you go back, how are you going to deal with him?" Xu Shuizhou looked at Xu Changming behind him, wondering how Jiang Jingyuan would deal with him.

"He will get the punishment he deserves." Jiang Jingyuan's black and white pupils showed a vague look.

"What punishment?" Xu Shuizhou blinked curiously.

"The way to treat others with one's own body."

Before Xu Shuizhou could understand, there was a sound of begging for mercy in pain from the prison cart outside the carriage, "My stomach is uncomfortable, please let me go out for convenience."

Xu Shuizhou looked out of the carriage, and saw that Xu Changming's body began to swell up at a speed visible to the naked eye, his face was pale, and he seemed to be dehydrated.

"This is... dysentery." Having seen many soldiers suffering from dysentery in Jiangjia City, Xu Shuizhou was very familiar with this dysentery.

"Yes, both your father and my father died of this disease, how could the real culprit not enjoy one or two." Jiang Jingyuan sneered slightly, even so he felt that it was easy for him.

"Just let him die like this, it's also cheap for him." Xu Shuizhou bowed his head, thinking that this kind of punishment is still light, thousands of people died because of him, this little pain is nothing at all.

"I didn't say let him die now, there will be a doctor hang him, with his body that has been nourished for more than ten years, there is no problem in persisting for another ten years." How could Jiang Jingyuan let Xu Changming die? Death is right To be free from this world, he had to live well.

……

As soon as Pu returned to the capital, Jiang Jingyuan learned from Gu Renhuai that the censors in the imperial court had joined forces to deal with him. He just nodded slightly to show that he knew.

"What do you think?" Since Jiang Jingyuan came back from the grassland last time, Gu Renhuai's attitude towards Jiang Jingyuan has also begun to change. In the past, the master watched the apprentices, but now they communicate with each other as peers.

"Let them dance, and the emperor didn't say much. As for the credit, it's irrelevant. The teacher knows that I have never been an official for fame and fortune. I just want to let the prosperity of Ming Dynasty reopen."

Jiang Jingyuan shook his hands, his face full of indifference.

"It's good that you have success in your heart, so I can go back and answer the emperor." Of course, Gu Renhuai did not ask Jiang Jingyuan aimlessly, but got the emperor's favor.

After all, this time Jiang Jingyuan has made such great contributions to the court, it seems unreasonable not to reward him, so the emperor kept silent in the court, deliberately hiding from the censor, but he was afraid that Jiang Jingyuan would be dissatisfied, so he let Gu Renhuai Come over to find out.

"Teacher, just go back and answer." Jiang Jingyuan smiled.

Gu Renhuai nodded, and then said, "By the way, the Xu family has confessed to many masterminds, and one of them is a prince. I never thought that the prince of my Ming Dynasty would bow his head to the grassland people."

Jiang Jingyuan was not here in the capital, and all the people arrested by Xu's family were handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Once they were severely interrogated, the number of people in the court decreased by one-third.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't show any surprise. In fact, officials have a deep understanding of the change of dynasties. They just want to be their own officials, hug their own money, and don't care who the superior is.

It is even possible for some people to surrender to the enemy in order to keep their official positions or rights. Daming looked strong in the past, but in his bones it has reached the moment of decline.

It is not surprising that some people want to find a way out for themselves.

Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's expression remained the same, Gu Renhuai sighed with emotion that he, as a master, was not as calm as a disciple.

"Now that the imperial court is waiting for prosperity, the emperor decided to add another Enke to expand the imperial court and let me take charge of the overall situation. What do you think?" Gu Renhuai didn't want to trouble Jiang Jingyuan at first, but he couldn't help but mention something here.

"Most of the people in the imperial court are missing. Even adding an Enke may not be enough. It is better to implement an assessment system. For example, some departments that are short of manpower will customize some related questions. If they meet the requirements, they will be recruited. In fact, being an official is not enough. It doesn’t have to be based on face, we should also give some talented people a chance.”

Jiang Jingyuan thought of the big challenge before, he knew that although some people were ugly, they also had real talents, so it was a pity that they were lost to everyone.

Gu Renhuai's eyes lit up, and he thought that the selection of newspaper officers seemed to be the same way before, and this could be a way.

"Sure enough, if you have any difficult questions, just ask and you will solve them easily. Seeing you, even the teacher will not obey the old teacher." Gu Renhuai became more and more satisfied with his disciples.

"The teacher is joking. Jing Yuan just has some whimsical ideas that are not as good as the teacher's real talents. To be honest, since becoming an official, Jing Yuan has almost forgotten all the knowledge he learned at the beginning. He is ashamed of the teacher's past. Teaching." Jiang Jingyuan blushed a little when he said this, since he was admitted to the imperial examination, he completely abandoned the Four Books and Five Classics without even looking at them.

Gu Renhuai laughed and waved his hands, "There's no reason to blush. Some people like to read because they want to be sublimated. Some people like to read books just as a tool to make their lives better. Some people like to read because they want to be better." To understand knowledge, you don’t have to read books, as long as your goal is achieved.”

Gu Renhuai is a great Confucian, but he is not pedantic. He can see through, so there are many peaches and plums in the world. So far, no disciple has said anything bad about him.

"You are young, so don't be too mature. If you are working in the household department or staying at home, you should go out and socialize more." Gu Renhuai warned Jiang Jingyuan as soon as he finished speaking, "Don't look at those censors. To impeach you vigorously, as long as you step out of your circle and enter the circle of the imperial court, they will naturally not dare to do anything to you."

Jiang Jingyuan pondered for a moment, felt that it was reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

"I know you don't know where to start. I have an invitation here. It's a chrysanthemum appreciation feast in autumn. You can go there with a water boat." Gu Renhuai said as he handed the invitation to Jiang Jingyuan and put it on the table.

Jiang Jingyuan sent Gu Renhuai away, looking at the invitation on the table, he was a little dazed, he didn't know whether he should go or not.

It's not that he doesn't know the virtues of those people in the imperial court, and he is afraid that he will have to see Jiang Jingyuan. If he goes there, it will be even more embarrassing to be isolated.

"Father, hug." Qiqi appeared out of nowhere, pulled Jiang Jingyuan's robe, and looked at her innocently with big watery eyes.

Jiang Jingyuan regained his senses from his contemplation, glanced at his daughter who was not as high as his knees, and helplessly picked her up, and asked, "Where did you get out of, where is your father?"

Qiqi lowered her head to play with Jiang Jingyuan's collar, and did not answer Jiang Jingyuan's words at all, acting as if she didn't understand, and left her saliva on Jiang Jingyuan's collar in a wicked way.

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Jiang Jingyuan patted her on the back of Mo Ruofu, a well-known daughter, and said in a slightly dignified tone.

Qiqi seemed to be frightened, water dripped from her two big jewel-like eyes, she looked pitiful, combined with her trembling shoulders, it was as if Jiang Jingyuan had bullied her .

"Heh, you have learned to be a playwright at such a young age. You are already a one-and-a-half-year-old child. If you are so disobedient, I will send you back to Wutong County and let you follow the clansmen there. You know what I am doing." Officials, all officials keep their promises."

Jiang Jingyuan doesn't care if the child understands or not, just talk to her, it's her business whether she understands or not.

Sure enough, Qiqi seemed to understand it, and immediately smiled, leaving two wet questions on Jiang Jingyuan's cheeks, looking at him flatteringly.

"Qiqi, Qiqi, where did your child go?" Xu Shuizhou's voice was eagerly looking for the child from outside the door.

"It's here with me." Jiang Jingyuan replied without thinking, and then slapped Qiqi on the back mercilessly, and scolded, "Look, because of your naughtiness, your father is worried about you."

When Xu Shuizhou came in, there was smoke on his forehead, it seemed that he was quite frightened, and his frightened eyes settled down the moment he saw the chess.

"Just now, there is a grandfather who sells vegetables at the back door. I was thinking about buying some vegetables when I was out of vegetables at home, but I turned my back and didn't see this kid. I searched outside but couldn't find it, but I was so anxious."

Xu Shuizhou said that he didn't wipe the sweat from his forehead, and hugged the chess piece, feeling both self-blame and fear.

"The child has learned to walk. I think I will buy some servants to come back. Otherwise, these two children will not be able to see them, and they will not know if they are taken away." Chen Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu were also looking for their children. When they saw the children in Xu Shuizhou In his hand, a heart fell to the ground.

Xu Shuizhou remembered the time when he was kidnapped in Wutong County, and when he thought of the children in the cellar, he was still a little scared, so he poked his daughter's forehead, "No, if we were kidnapped, our daughter is so handsome, I don't know if she is a girl. What's the end?"

Don't look at these two children who were born ugly, but now that they grow up, they are so beautiful that nothing can be said. They have inherited the advantages of Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou, and they will be two handsome people when they come out.

"Buy, buy, buy, buy some servants to watch them and see if they are naughty or not." Jiang Jingyuan also waved his hand. Anyway, money is not very tight these past few months, so buying a few servants will make this empty house come back. It smells of smoke.

Xu Shuizhou was a little tired, so he found a stool to sit on, and just happened to see a public invitation card on the table, and was curious, "Is it for us to enjoy the chrysanthemum feast?"

"Well, I'm still considering whether to go or not." Jiang Jingyuan took a look and knew that he had made a mistake. The daughter who acted like a good baby didn't scold her again.

Xu Shuizhou was very interested and yelled, "Go, why don't you go, you can't keep going like this, I think other officials go to this banquet and that banquet every now and then, maybe there are people who say bad things about you behind your back. I went to see what they had to say."

Xu Shuizhou knows that Jiang Jingyuan's current situation is very embarrassing, isolated and helpless in the court, if he doesn't participate in this kind of banquet more often, he will be completely excluded by others in the future.

"You can go if you want." Seeing that Xu Shuizhou was interested, Jiang Jingyuan smiled and nodded.

Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's smile, Xu Shuizhou pursed his lips and smiled sweetly.

The child didn't know what the adults were talking about, but seeing them all laughed, he also felt the sense of happiness, and laughed too.

Under the afterglow of the sun, shining on a happy family, everything is so beautiful.

Soon came the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, Xu Shuizhou got up early to make up for Jiang Jingyuan, making Jiang Jingyuan look extraordinarily refreshed today.

Jiang Jingyuan's temperament is not bad at all, and now that he is an official, there will always be an aura of a superior person lingering around him, which makes people unable to turn their eyes away.

Xu Shuizhou's eyes were radiant, and he couldn't help but praise, "My A Yuan is getting more and more beautiful now, I really want to hide it and see enough."

"Then hide it." Jiang Jingyuan followed with a smile.

"No, the light beside A Yuan who is hiding will be wiped out. At that time, it will be the same as killing a chicken to get its eggs. Not only will you not get the golden egg, but you will also lose the chicken that can lay the golden egg." Xu Shuizhou is not stupid, only A Yuan who blooms in the world is the treasure of this world.

"It's so cruel to compare your husband to a chicken that can only lay eggs." Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but slapped his mouth.

Xu Shuizhou chuckled and stopped talking.

After Jiang Jingyuan finished washing up, he looked at Xu Shuizhou, who was dressed plainly but not vulgar, and smiled, "Don't patronize me, you can also pick out good-looking clothes."

Xu Shuizhou looked at the clothes on his body, and didn't think there was any problem, "I'll forget it, I'm comfortable in clothes like this, and I have to be careful not to splash on my body when I eat with nice clothes, anyway, this kind of banquet shouldn't take care of me Well, I'm just going to join in the fun."

Both Xu Shuizhou and Jiang Jingyuan had never participated in this kind of banquet, they both came here as they felt comfortable, anyway, they just went to eat and drink.

However, at Jiang Jingyuan's request, Xu Shuizhou changed into light blue and white clothes and went out.

As soon as the two of them arrived at Zhuangzi for the banquet, they felt another sense of foreboding, because the women who came in and out were all dressed in jewels, and their bodies were covered with gold and silver jewelry.

On the other hand, Xu Shuizhou, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked a bit like a servant brought by Jiang Jingyuan.

Xu Shuizhou bit the tip of his tongue secretly, "This is too exaggerated, whoever buys so many jewelry and still carries it with him, what if he loses it?"

Jiang Jingyuan's complexion was also a little ugly, not because Xu Shuizhou was dressed plainly, but because the women in front of him were too exaggerated.

What kind of chrysanthemum appreciation feast is this? It's probably a competition feast. Isn't it elegant to appreciate chrysanthemums? Why is it so vulgar.

Jiang Jingyuan was a little discouraged. Well, he learned too much elegance in modern families, thinking that appreciating chrysanthemums is really just for appreciating chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemum is the host, and the person is the guest...

"It's too late to go back and change it." Xu Shuizhou looked at the sky. This is the suburb of Beijing. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. In addition, there is really no jewelry at home, so I have to buy it now. There is not enough time at all. .

"It doesn't matter, just go in like this. What are you afraid of, Mrs. Second Rank Senior Advisor? I just took a look and saw that there are not many people who are higher in rank than you. If anyone dares to speak of you, just slap your mouth." Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but think of Gongdouju as he spoke. Come on, with a funny smile.

The two got out of the carriage, and sure enough, many people looked at them, both of them were handsome, in the eyes of others, they were golden boys and golden men.

It's just that many wives still feel that Jiang Xu Shuizhou is a bit shabby. It is obvious that Jiang Jingyuan is a senior official of the second rank, and he is dressed so plainly. It is obvious that Jiang Jingyuan did not take Xu Shuizhou to heart.

As a result, some wives are playing small nines in their hearts.

Jiang Jingyuan led Xu Shuizhou into the village, and many officials came to say hello. Seeing that the wives of other officials did not follow the officials, Jiang Jingyuan felt embarrassed to keep Xu Shuizhou by his side.

Xu Shuizhou found a quiet place next to the long table with melons and fruits in the manor, ate the refreshments on the table, and looked at Yingying and Yanyan around him, and found it quite interesting.

Because the wives who came here were all women, he was the only brother. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't go up to him, but a few women moved their minds and took the initiative to come over.

After meeting each other, everyone chattered, "What does Mrs. Jiang usually learn at home."

Xu Shuizhou scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "I usually just take care of the children, calculate the books, and don't learn anything."

The ladies looked at each other and smiled, and covered their mouths, "We, on weekdays, learn how to make tea from this illustration, and there are people taking care of the child and the account book."

Xu Shuizhou was dumbfounded when he heard it, "It would be great if the child grows up and doesn't get close to me. If this account book is embezzled by the villains below, wouldn't it be a big loss."

The ladies couldn't stop laughing, "If a girl is going to get married sooner or later, how can she not kiss me if I am her mother? If a boy will marry himself in the future, why would he kiss us when he becomes a relative? , Just execute him directly, what’s the difficulty.”

Xu Shuizhou was speechless after hearing that, what they said was so reasonable, I couldn't even refute it, but I always felt that the three views were inconsistent.

While talking, everyone couldn't help gossiping, today is a good chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and it is also a wife thanking day, to thank my wife for her hard work this year, so the wives of each family are comparing what their husbands gave today.

As we talked, we talked about Xu Shuizhou, "People all over the capital say that Mr. Jiang loves his husband the most. Mrs. Jiang's gift must be much more shocking than ours."

Seeing the expectant expressions of the wives, Xu Shuizhou became nervous. They didn't know that there was still a festival today, and now they were a little bit stuck.

Jiang Jingyuan chatted with several adults here, and it happened to be about this matter. He was a little embarrassed, thinking that he hadn't prepared anything for Xu Shuizhou, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Shuizhou surrounded by his wives.

Walked over slowly...

The author has something to say: ahhhhh, yesterday I went to buy things for a banquet in the store, and I took my seven-year-old cousin there to play, but he turned his back and squatted in the fruit wholesale market. He wanted to buy oranges. It is reasonable and well-founded. It is said that there are relatives in the family who want to buy fruit for the National Day.

How can I refuse! ?

But the boss doesn't sell retail, so I bought [-] catties without stopping! ! ! !

I carried fifty catties back!Ah a few miles ah ah ah ah ah ah, it may be strained, oh oh, so yesterday and today are updated.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
