Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2006, Ding worry

The entire Liu Mansion was silent. At this moment, everyone was cautious and tried not to make any noise.

The old lady in the mansion fainted and fell down. The doctor said that there was more than good luck, which made the Duke of Liao and the chief minister of the cabinet Liu Jin heartbroken, and has been waiting by his mother's side.

Wang remained in a coma for several hours, and only woke up at night.

"Mother! Mother!"

Seeing his mother waking up, Liu Jin shouted excitedly.

"Jiner, Jiner~"

Hearing Liu Jin's voice, and seeing Liu Jin crying and heartbroken, Wang touched Liu Jin's face with great effort, trying to wipe away Liu Jin's tears.

However, he was still unable to stretch out his hand, which seemed very difficult.

"mother!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I've sent a famous doctor from all over the world to come over, and I'm sure they can cure you."

Liu Jin clutched his mother's hand, crying all over.

Doctors have been invited batch after batch. They are all professors and imperial physicians from Daming Medical College, Daming Royal Medical College, and even famous doctors from the capital.

The diagnosis given by everyone is the same, old age, lack of energy and blood in the early years, exhaustion left countless hidden wounds, and now something happened, it is really more than auspicious.

"Silly boy, why are you crying?"

"Mother, this life is considered complete."

"You are promising, stand out from the crowd, and serve the king's country at the top, and benefit the people of the Li people and the well-being of the people at the bottom. Be a good official, and be a good official with achievements."

"The family is full of children and grandchildren, each of whom is promising and capable."

"I've lived to be in my sixties, and that's enough. Seventy has been rare since ancient times. It's pretty good to be able to live to be in my sixties."

"No regrets."

Wang looked at her son, then at the two daughters-in-law beside her, and the grandson, granddaughter, and great-grandson standing beside her. Blushes appeared on the pale faces, and the whole person had already looked down.

"Mother, don't say such things. You still want to live a long life and hold your great-great-grandson."

Liu Jin cried even more when he heard such words.

"Silly boy~"

"It is also a blessing to walk away without illness and disaster."

"Actually, I'm most worried about you. Now that you are an official, you are already the chief minister of the cabinet. You are still young, and our family has a lot of property. I am worried about the future."

"In my mother's opinion, you should retreat bravely at about the same time. Don't be too greedy for power. It is only complete if you can retire with success. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have reached your level and died well."

"Actually, I also know that you also have considerations in this regard. It is also right to send Liu Da and Liu Cheng to Daming. Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"You also have to think carefully about when to retreat bravely, and get out in time, so as not to overwhelm the master with great achievements, die the cunning rabbit, cook the lackeys, kill the birds, and hide the good bow."

Wang looked at her son. Her life was unfortunate. Liu's father left early, leaving her alone as a woman to raise Liu Jin and to support Liu Jin's education. Only she knows the hardships .

But her life was happy again. Her son Liu Jin was very promising. He went well all the way in his studies and examinations. The rice bowl is the Duke of Liao.

He married two daughters-in-law, both of whom are ladies, and gave birth to a bunch of grandchildren. They are chattering by his side every day, not to mention how happy they are.

I also hugged my great-grandson. It can be said that this kind of life is already very complete, and it is the life that countless people yearn for.

"My child knows that my child also has his own plans and plans."

Liu Jin nodded again and again.

"It's good that you know it, it's good that you know it."

Wang nodded in satisfaction, then looked at her daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and great-grandson, and then slowly closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

"mother!"

Liu Jin cried heartbreakingly, heartbroken, and soon the entire Liu Mansion was also crying, and it was replaced with white decorations and colors.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Emperor Hongzhi was leisurely admiring the snow scene.

He is living a very comfortable life now, there is nothing worth worrying about in the court, the Ming Dynasty is extremely prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, there are no external troubles or internal worries, and there are only dozens of memorials that need to be reviewed every day. Lots of time to relax.

There is nothing to worry about in my own family. There is only Empress Zhang in the harem, and there is no jealousy or annoying palace fights.

My son is now in a free-range mode, and he can do whatever he likes. Anyway, he is already in his 30s, and he might be a grandfather in a few years.

I have a lot of grandchildren, among them the eldest grandson, Zhu Houzhao's concubine Xia's situation is completely opposite to Zhu Houzhao's. She is a very well-behaved, sensible, intelligent, motivated and studious child.

Perhaps the only trouble is naming more and more grandchildren. Zhu Houzhao has too many children, and the old Zhu's family has its own strict rules for naming.

The years are quiet and good, and live comfortably.

"Your Majesty, news just came that the mother of Liu Jin, the chief minister of the cabinet, has passed away!"

At this time, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly came to report.

"Liu Jin's mother died?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he frowned slightly.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, if the parents of an official pass away, they will have to go home and keep their filial piety for three years, especially for a chief assistant like Liu Jin, his words and deeds are even more respectful. example.

The Ming Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jin must write a letter to Ding You to observe filial piety, and most of the time he himself wants to approve it.

Emperor Hongzhi has always attached great importance to filial piety, and put all good filial piety first. It is impossible to say that Liu Jin will not be allowed to resign and go home to observe filial piety.

However, Liu Jin was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he was a capable minister in governing the world. It is definitely because of Liu Jin's great contribution that the Ming Dynasty was able to have what it is today. It is also because of Liu Jin's assistance that he can live a comfortable and good life.

Over the years, Emperor Hongzhi has become accustomed to being assisted by Liu Jin, and also accustomed to following Liu Jin's advice. If Liu Jin goes home to observe his filial piety, he will lose his most important right-hand man.

From the bottom of his heart, Emperor Hongzhi did not want Liu Jin to leave at this time, especially now that Daming is prosperous and prosperous, and he needs Liu Jin to continue to assist him in governing well, so that the prosperity of Daming can continue.

"Pass down my decree, posthumously designate Liu Jin's mother as the first-rank imperial wife, and bestow Luan brocade and a jade shaft!"

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi also issued an order.

The news of Liu Jin's mother's death spread quickly throughout the capital in the shortest possible time.

"Liu Jin's mother died?"

In Wang Shouren's mansion, Wang Shouren and Wang Hua were also slightly shocked when they received the news.

"It seems that you have hope to be the chief minister of the cabinet."

After Wang Hua finished listening, he also said to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren has always been under the pressure of Liu Jin. During the scientific examination, Liu Jin was the first and he was second. Now that he is an official, Liu Jin is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Shouren is the second assistant. They have always been under the pressure. .

If Wang Shouren wants to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, he must wait for Liu Jin to go down to have a chance.

But Liu Jin is deeply rooted and trusted by the emperor, and he has outstanding abilities. It is not known that he will step down in the year of the monkey. The key is that Liu Jin is more than ten years younger than Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren is already in his fifties, and Liu Jin is only in his forties. If the game really takes time, Wang Shouren will definitely not be able to survive Liu Jin.

If Wang Shouren wanted to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, he really didn't have much hope.

The point is that Wang Shouren is also different from ordinary people. If these ordinary officials want to climb up, they will often use some despicable and shameless means, such as attacking, slandering the people in front of them, or filming the emperor. Flattery or something.

But Wang Shouren would not do this. He admired Liu Jin's talent and personality, let alone doing something that would damage his feathers in order to go further.

This also means that if you want to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, your hope is really slim.

Who knew that now that Liu Jin's mother had died of illness, if Liu Jin went home and Ding You kept his filial piety, then Wang Shouren would have the opportunity to be the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"My child doesn't have much expectations for this, and it doesn't really matter if it's right or not."

Wang Shouren smiled and shook his head, it was enough for him to be an official.

I was able to get promoted step by step, in fact, Liu Jin's promotion and recommendation were indispensable. Now that something like this happened in Liu Jin's family, Wang Shouren didn't have much heart to think about it.

On the contrary, Wang Hua has a deep obsession with this. After all, Wang Hua is also the champion, but now he is in his seventies, and his health is not good, but he only works as an official of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.

Although it is also a six-part minister, it can be said that it is an extremely personable minister, but the minister of the Nanjing official department is a place for the elderly and has no real power. Therefore, he is also obsessed. It's completely different.

"I'll go to Liu Jin's mansion."

Wang Shouren didn't care about his father's thoughts, but immediately planned to go to Liu Jin's house to comfort Liu Jin. Although the two were colleagues, they had been friends for many years.

At this moment, the officials in the entire capital also quickly learned about this matter, and all the officials in the entire capital were also active in a short time.

When Liu Jin returns home and Ding You keeps his filial piety, this position is vacant. If someone takes it up, it means that someone will enter the cabinet, and someone will become a minister. The corresponding change of position will affect the promotion of many people. Whether this can be promoted one step higher, this is a critical moment.
