The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 401 Military Aircraft Candidates

Fan Kang's wife called her three sons and daughter-in-law who were plowing in the fields.

Then he took the patriarch and the young man back to his home.

As soon as she got home, Fan Kang's wife said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "Don't be idle, hurry up and bring tea to the two distinguished guests."

Then Fan Kang's wife led the patriarch and the young man into the main house.

After entering the room, the guests and the host were seated separately, and after they were seated, Fan Kang's wife said, "Isn't the second uncle coming to our house for something important?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your guy sent you a letter from Beijing."

After hearing this, Fan Kang's daughter-in-law was not as happy as she imagined, but her face sank like water.

"This unconscionable person has been away for many years, what letter is he sending now?"

The patriarch Fan ignored Fan Kang's daughter-in-law's complaints, but said to the young man next to him, "My little brother, this is Fan Kang's daughter-in-law. If you have anything to say, just talk to her."

After hearing this, the young man took a step forward and said to Fan Kang's wife, "I have seen my wife, and I am serving in the yamen of the infantry commander. Our Master Fan has a letter for me to bring to my wife."

After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fan Kang's wife with both hands.

Fan Kang's eldest son quickly picked it up and sent it to his mother.

Fan Kang's daughter-in-law took the letter, opened it and read it, and immediately trembled with excitement.

In the original letter, Fan Kang told his daughter-in-law roughly what happened during this period of time, and told her that he has now served as the head of the yamen of the Beijing Central Infantry Commander, and took them to Beijing Central to live together.

This time, Fan Kang's daughter-in-law just felt that she was seeing the sun after the cloud, and the daughter-in-law for many years finally became a mother-in-law.

Seeing her excitement, the patriarch next to her knew something good was going on, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say in the letter?"

When Fan Kang's daughter-in-law heard the patriarch's question, she couldn't help but feel proud. Now the guy in their family is an official in Beijing, and the official position is not small.

"It's nothing. It's just that the infantry commander's yamen in Beijing is now a small master bookkeeper, and let us take care of his life."

The head of the patriarch turned pale with shock when he heard this. The head of the infantry commander's yamen is not bad.

Then the patriarch put down his face and began to compliment Wankang's wife.And Fan Kang's daughter-in-law didn't get carried away. Seeing the patriarch's compliment, she replied respectfully. The Ministry of War had any pride.Because she knew that the patriarch was different from others, even if Fan Kang was a bigger official outside, it would be uncomfortable to offend the patriarch.

In the next few days, Fan Kang's family was in chaos. Ever since Fan Kang's daughter-in-law received Fan Kang's letter, her heart had already flown to the capital, thinking about living the life of the official's wife.

So without any delay, the three sons and daughter-in-law were ordered to clean up that night.Since there are more than a dozen members of this big family and three grandchildren, it is not easy to pack up and go on the road.So it took two or three days to pack up and entrust the family's land to the patriarch to help him rent it out, and then left the small mountain village with the welcome of the whole village.

But a few days later, Liu Yu took the written memorial and sent it to Jia Ke's case.Let Jia Ke read it and sign it.

Jia Ke just scanned it lightly a few times, but there was no change on it, that is, the candidate for the military aircraft, so she wrote her name on it.It can be regarded as agreeing to this memorial.

Next, the other two ministers of military aircraft, seeing that Jia Ke agreed, also signed it.

Liu Yu took this memorial and hurried to the East Nuan Pavilion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Besides, the emperor has been in a very bad mood these past few days, even though Jia Ke agreed to the Xiaoqi battalion to go north.But as long as he hasn't left one day, he is worried about one day.

When the emperor was worrying, Xia Shouzhong said softly beside him, "Long Live Lord, Liu Yu will beg to see you outside."

"Let him in. In the future, if Liu Yu asks to see him, let him come in directly. You don't need to report every time." The emperor was a little absent-minded, but he still took great care of his loyal minister.

After a while, Liu Yu entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and as soon as he entered the gate, he quickly knelt down and bowed to the emperor.

"Get up, Liu Aiqing, what's the matter with this visit, it's not that Jia Ke is going back on his word, right?" The emperor is most afraid of hearing the news of Jia Ke's going back on his word now, because the northward movement of the Xiaoqi camp is related to his next move.

"Long live Lord, don't worry, Jia Ke has not regretted it. From this time, it is because the Military Aircraft Department lost a minister, so after discussing in the Military Aircraft Department, they jointly elected two ministers, and let the emperor make the decision yourself." Liu Yu Seriously, clearly explain the purpose of your visit.

"Then bring it up, let me see who you have chosen?" The emperor immediately became energetic when he heard that he was the candidate for the Minister of Military Affairs.This is related to the stability of the court, and there must be no mistakes.

Liu Yu took out the memorial from his sleeve and held it up high.Xia Shouzhong immediately came over to take the memorial, returned to the emperor, bowed his head and sent it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the memorial and watched it carefully.It turns out that the two candidates here are Zhang Chaoxin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Among these two people, Zhang Chaoxin was originally a member of the Supreme Emperor, but later he took refuge in Jia Ke.He stood by Jia Ke's side in several court meetings, leading his men to clear the way for Jia Ke.His butt was already sitting on Jia Ke's side.

Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was different. Not long after he had just ascended the throne, it was as if he had surrendered. Since then, he has been loyal to him, and he can be regarded as one of his confidant ministers.

In this case, what choice does the emperor have?Directly said to Liu Yu below: "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, to serve as Minister of Military Aircraft. What do you think?"

Liu Yu knew the emperor's choice a long time ago, and no one would choose his own person at such a critical moment.

"Your majesty is wise, and this minister also thinks the same way."

The emperor nodded, and said to Xia Shouzhong next to him: "You write an imperial decree, and then let me have a look, affix a seal and send it to the Ministry of Punishment. Let Sun Yan report to the military aircraft department tomorrow. Now there is no thunder in the military aircraft department." Ying, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Liu Yu continued, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to the emperor."

"Let's talk about anything, do we still need to be so polite between our monarchs and ministers?" the emperor said in relief.

Liu Yu frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, but he really didn't know what to say, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Tianye, the Zuodu censor, probably has a heart, and the emperor should be more careful."

"What's the matter? Hasn't he always been loyal to me? Why did he betray now?" The emperor still couldn't believe it. After all, without his promotion, Tian Ye would not be able to become Minister of Military Affairs anyway.I can be said to be kind to him.

"Your Majesty, when proposing the candidate for Minister of Military Affairs yesterday, Zuodu Yushi Tianye actually remained neutral. If he was on the side of the minister, there would be no need for this memorial at all. The appointment was already made yesterday." Liu Yu still briefly introduced what happened yesterday to the emperor.

The emperor was furious after hearing this, "What a white-eyed wolf, this unfamiliar wolf cub. When I have time, I really want his whole family to die." Then a series of obscenities came out of the emperor's mouth , This is the first time for the emperor who has been well-educated since childhood.It can be seen how much the emperor hated the traitor.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Liu Yu didn't dare to say anything while standing below, so he could only wink at Xia Shouzhong who was standing beside the emperor to persuade him.

And Xia Shouzhong was watching his nose, nose and mouth, but he didn't say a word. Now that the emperor was so angry, if he went up to persuade him, wouldn't that be scolding?Let's wait until the emperor himself calms down.

The emperor scolded there for a long time, finally took a breath, picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Xia Shouzhong only took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Long Live Lord, please calm down and take care of your dragon body. Don't make you angry because of these cubs who don't open their eyes."

The emperor has calmed down a little now, but his face is still ashen.

Liu Yu also quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, some people are just short-sighted. How can you know your majesty's talents. When the overall situation is settled, it will not be too late for the emperor to convict them."

Only then did the emperor calm down and said, "Fortunately, the military aircraft department can come up with us alone this time. Otherwise, even the military aircraft department would be controlled by this Jia Ke."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Military Plane Office is still under His Majesty's control. Zuodu Yushi Tianye just wants to remain neutral and not offend. That old Meng Ming is just an eyeliner placed by the Supreme Emperor on the Military Plane Department. It doesn't have much effect. Now with Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the emperor can still control the military affairs, and the government affairs of this world still need to be approved by the emperor." Liu Yu confided his views to the emperor, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to the emperor.

The emperor thought about it, and it was true.In this way, although he lost one person, his status in the military aircraft department is still the highest.Now the Military Aircraft Department is still barely under its control.

"You ask Lei Ying to urge the Xiaoqi camp to go north as soon as possible, and then say hello to the king of Beijing, and ask him to return to the Xiaoqi camp as soon as possible. Why has the king of Beijing remained silent for so long?" Now the emperor finally remembered King Beijing. Although King Shui Rong of Beijing was the first of the four kings and eight princes to surrender to him, since he was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor last time, he has been hiding in the mansion and has never come out again.

This time I ordered him to serve as the supervisor of the army, but he has not yet taken up the post. Could it be that he deliberately delayed?
Liu Yu thought for a while, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I will go to the Beijing Palace tonight. Find out what the King of Beijing means?"

"Liu Aiqing, do you think the King of Beijing is going back on his word? Want to go back to Jia Ke's side again?" The emperor still had some lingering fears about the betrayal of Zuodu Censor Tianye. Some sign of something wrong, will suspect that the other party has betrayed.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's possible. The King of Beijing has already betrayed the alliance of the four kings and eight princes. He has already faced Jia Ke in the court. Jia Ke will not accept him again. A person has already betrayed once, can it be Does he want to betray again?" Liu Yu immediately stated the current point.

"Then why didn't he go to Xiaoqiying to take office?" the emperor said with some uncertainty.

"From my point of view, the prince of Beijing Jing is waiting for an opportunity. Before Jia Ke stayed put, even if he went to Xiaoqi Camp, it might not be of much use. As long as Jia Ke agreed to send troops, he would go to Xiaoqi Camp to play a role." Otherwise, in the capital, his every move would be under Jia Ke’s eyes, so how could he dare to take any action.” Liu Yu seemed to have seen through all the actions of King Beijing Jing, and with just a few words, he King Beijing's difficulties were all told.
