Red House Shoufu

Wei Qinghe's age has indeed reached the time for him to be an official, especially in the past few years after he entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, the heavy government affairs made the old man's body weaker and weaker day by day.

If it weren't for the palace always caring about his body and sending imperial doctors to diagnose his pulse and take care of him, he would have been overwhelmed.It's a pity that people will eventually exhaust themselves. Since this year, Wei Qinghe has felt that he lacks energy. Even though the supplements given by the palace can open a medicine shop, his energy is obviously not as good as in previous years.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Wei Qinghe looked at the young and vigorous emperor blushing anxiously, and replied in his heart: "The old minister did not write this book on a whim, but after thinking about it for a long time. Your Majesty, I am old, and my energy can no longer be guaranteed." Handle the government affairs. The position of the chief assistant of the cabinet is very important to the court, and the old man is not competent for the most important place in the central government. Please choose an old, prudent but young and vigorous person to take it. "

"Then rest and recuperate for a while, and let the other cabinet ministers share the burden. Master Wei must not say any more words about being an official. I forbid this memorial!"

The emperor is really red-eyed, how many people will never become officials until they are unable to walk, and how many people can be as selfless as Wei Qinghe?The old man was ordered in the face of danger. For nine years, he has devoted himself to his career, quietly recruiting talents and power for the emperor.

He was able to stabilize the court so quickly and secure the throne, and it was inseparable from the old man's assistance over the years.Since ancient times, sages have been rare, and there are many capable people, but how many people can achieve Wei Qinghe's level under the situation of double sun hanging over the sky, internal and external troubles?
The emperor still remembered that during the New Year in the first year of Zhide, there was no money or food in the court, and the military salary of the Imperial Army in Beijing could not be paid. It was about to mutiny. Xun suppressed the mutiny.

After that, he personally took the bills owed by the Ministry of Households, and went door-to-door to knock on the doors of the people who owed the money to collect the bills. In the end, he forcibly recovered the owed money of more than 400 million taels, which was regarded as allowing the emperor to pass the first hurdle after ascension to the throne.

At the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, his methods were immature, and he often ignored his head when dealing with the government affairs, causing a lot of troubles, and Wei Qinghe was basically finishing it for him.

Just like this, in the first two years, the emperor thought that Wei Qinghe was deliberately embarrassing himself, and made things difficult for others.Thinking about it now, the emperor feels tired for Wei Qinghe, and feels guilty for his misunderstanding at the beginning.

"Oh, I can't bear Master Wei, if there is no Master Wei, I will feel uneasy!"

"Your Majesty is serious..."

The emperor poured a cup of tea for Wei Qinghe himself, and continued: "How about this, Master Wei will be tired for another year or two, and I will ask the rest of the cabinet elders to share more. Master Wei only needs to grasp the general direction. Alas , Don’t hide it from Master Wei, I’m going to start the New Deal, and without Master Wei behind me, I’m always not at ease.”

Hearing the emperor talking about the New Deal, Wei Qinghe sighed and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the courtiers should propose and preside over the New Deal, at least on the surface. The success or failure of the New Deal cannot be directly related to Your Majesty." relation."

"I don't care about criticism..."

"It's not a simple worry of criticism, but that the king can't make mistakes!"

Wei Qinghe's expression became extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The world can have prime ministers who make mistakes, but there can't be emperors who make mistakes. The country is in a time of great internal and external changes. As the lord of the people, your majesty is the safety of the world. , must cast an invincible golden body and become the belief of all people. Only in this way can our kingdom of heaven be invincible in the race of all nations."

In fact, Wei Qinghe didn't say anything, that is, too many people are thinking about the emperor's seat.In order to train the emperor to be qualified as soon as possible, the Supreme Emperor prepared two whetstones alone.

Doing so did allow the emperor to grow into a qualified king in the shortest time, but at the same time, it also caused a lot of factions in the court, which was not conducive to the stability of the country and society.

If because of the changes in the New Deal, as long as there is a problem that affects the stability of the country, someone will definitely jump out and put the blame on the emperor.Conspiracists have never been absent since ancient times, not to mention some people wish the emperor made mistakes.

The only way is to find someone to stand at the front, be the emperor's messenger, and take the blame for the emperor when something goes wrong.

For example, Qian Qianli is not bad!

Wei Qinghe proposed this idea not to harm Qian Qianli, whoever asked him to talk to himself about the Reform and New Deal when he had nothing to do, with the help of a reformist disciple, compared to the other members of the cabinet, Qian Qianli couldn't be more suitable .

"The old minister thinks Qian Ge is quite suitable..."

Wei Qinghe explained his analysis of the pros and cons of the political reform, and the reasons why he recommended Qian Qianli. After hearing this, the emperor felt that the truth was the same, but he felt a little guilty.

Qian Qianli is upright and fair.The fierce man who once went north alone and chopped down the enemy in the king's tent of the grassland should be pushed out by himself, which is a bit unreasonable!
"Then the boss of Qiange will take over the new policy, and Master Wei will help watch from behind..."

"The old minister will give up the position of chief assistant, and let Mr. Qian Ge..."

The emperor shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinggong took the lead in reforming in the position of being a political adviser. Our Da Chu didn't participate in political affairs, but the Cabinet Scholars are the same, so let Qian Ge be the Cabinet Scholars In the name of taking charge of the reform, I will mention Lin Shu's official position and let him assist my teacher."

Wei Qinghe responded with a smile: "The old minister thinks so too, the master and apprentice are a good partner."

……

The Guibang will be held in August, and various gambling houses in the capital have already opened several markets.

Betting on Jia Lan from Rongguo Mansion to win Jieyuan in Shuntian Mansion this autumn has the best handicap odds. Don’t look at Jia Lan’s high school ranking in the test, but he is too young after all. Much smaller.

Lin Shu looked at Jia Lan standing in front of him, and said with a smile, "You don't have to. The rules of avoidance don't apply to in-laws, uncles and nephews. This fall, I'm not the only examiner, but there are also several assistant examiners. The test questions in Shuntian Mansion were drafted by Mr. Wei Ge himself, and no one knows about them except His Majesty and Mr. Wei Ge. With the rules of the country, even if I want to open a back door for you, I can't do it."

It turned out that when Jia Lan learned that the chief examiner of Shuntian Mansion had been replaced by Lin Shu, she was surprised at first, but then she was half relieved and half glad.

These days, Jia Lan's heart is under too much pressure. Jia Lan, who is eleven years old, has too much burden on her body, and her mother's ardent expectations unintentionally make Jia Lan a little out of breath.

Originally thought that Uncle Lin was the chief examiner of Shuntian Mansion, and he could wait for another three years by virtue of the rules of evasion, but he did not expect to get such an answer.

Seeing that Jia Lan was not as happy as imagined, Lin Shu couldn't help being curious.After letting Jialan sit down, he pushed a plate of dried fruit over, poured another cup of tea, and talked with him.

Under Lin Shu's deliberate guidance, Jia Lan talked about the problems he encountered after the hospital examination. Lin Shu couldn't help but wonder, no matter the past life or the present, all the parents in the world are equally looking forward to their children's success!
"I see……"

Lin Shu organized the words in his mind: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Although your mother has always been looking forward to your high school, she is more concerned about your smooth growth than success in your career."

This child matured so precociously that even Lin Shu found it unbelievable.When the attention of the Rongguo Mansion was on Jia Baoyu in the past two years, he had already learned to hide his edge, otherwise, with Jia Lan's grades, he would have been at the top of the school.

But he knew that if he overwhelmed his second uncle Jia Baoyu, what he would get would not be a reward, but would instead cause the mother and son to be suppressed by all parties.

Li Wan's forbearance has affected Jia Lan's character to a certain extent. If this is a good thing for adults, but if it falls on a child, from a psychological point of view, it is easy to cause psychological extremes .

Lin Shu insinuated Jia Lan's depression, and then said to him: "With your grades, the possibility of winning the exam is not small, but if you want to win the grades of Jieyuan and Yayuan, you still need to work hard. A period of time. Since you have signed up to take the exam, you should try it once, if you fail, you can spend three years traveling, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, this is not just talk."

Experience is an indispensable thing for a person.

Jalan's cognition of society is basically obtained from other people's word of mouth and records in books, and to a certain extent, they all carry other people's subjective bias.

Only by seeing it for yourself can you understand how to go in the future.Lin Shu objectively narrated his own experience, which was regarded as a pre-exam psychological counseling and career planning for Jia Lan.

Before noon, he personally sent Jia Lan back to Rongguo Mansion.He came to Rongxi Hall to greet the old lady, and invited Li Wan along the way to tell the truth about Jia Lan's situation.

"Sister-in-law, you should know that a person's ability to bear is limited, let alone a child like Lang Geer. He is very good, but because of Lang Geer's excellence, people around him put even more pressure on him." Of course, it’s not wrong for my cousin to hope that Lan Geer will become famous as soon as possible, but you still have to pay attention to Lang Geer’s mood, and don’t put too much pressure..."

Lin Shu told Li Wan a lot, and even used himself as an example to explain the importance of psychological problems to Li Wan.Leaving Li Wan's tears and gratitude aside, even Jia Shishi felt that what Lin Shu said was very reasonable.

It seems that it's not just Lan Geer who has such a problem, I'm afraid it's because of too much pressure that Baoyu sees the imperial examination as a scourge...

After Li Wan thanked Lin Shu and left, Jia Shishi took the initiative to pick up the topic.

She first thanked Lin Shu for his concern for Jia Lan, then suddenly changed the subject and asked about Lin Shu's marriage.

Lin Shu wondered why the old lady suddenly cared about his marriage, but these were not things that should not be discussed with others, so he briefly talked about them.

But the old lady asked: "Did the Wang's family mention how many maids married into the mansion together?"

"Accompanying girl?"

Lin Shu didn't know what a maid was for a moment, and after thinking it over, he laughed dumbly: "So it's this, this junior didn't want a dowry girl from my father-in-law's family, and of course, I won't look for any more concubines to accompany me." room, just watch over my wife for the rest of my life."

In fact, Jia Shishi had heard about Lin Shu's love for Wang Yuan long ago, but she never took the love talk between her children seriously at that time.

She smiled and said: "You are a dedicated person, but the number of heirs in your family is rare, and you are a person who wants to have two spouses at the same time. You can't spend your whole life guarding the girl. What if the heirs do not prosper?" , do you want to be like Ruhai?"

The issue of the heirs of the first line of the Lin family is indeed a headache for Lin Shu. The emphasis these days is on having more children and more blessings. However, starting from Lin Shu’s great-grandfather, the Lin family was either a single seedling or died young. It is Lin Ruhai’s turn. The direct branch was cut off directly, and Lin Shu was left as a bastard son to survive.

To be honest, Lin Shu was also worried that his generation of Lin family would become extinct, so he really felt ashamed of his ancestors.Fortunately, he visited a famous doctor, and even went to the palace to ask an imperial doctor who is good at such diseases to have a careful examination, and his body is fine.

Moreover, Master Liaoran also took pictures of himself and Wang Yuan, at least he could guarantee that a son and a daughter would be fine.

far away!
Lin Shu smiled and replied: "Let's live like this for now. Whether the Lin family can return to glory, the burden on the shoulders of this junior is extremely heavy, and we can't allow him to be distracted. This junior is not so lucky in the matter of the back house. With an elder like you, old lady, watching, the younger generation can’t snatch you home to make a sacrifice. Cousin Lian will beat me to death!”

Hahahaha...

Jia Shishi was amused by Lin Shu's compliment, and he almost forgot his original intention.Of course, these words are not Lin Shu’s nonsense. Putting aside the short-sightedness of political awareness, Mrs. Jia stabilized the Jia family during the most difficult time for the Ningrong and Rongfu. Both Jia Jing and Jia Amnesty understand this. It is the old lady's credit.

Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would definitely have swallowed the entire power of the Jia family when Jia Jing and Jia She were inappropriate.

A person who can enter the palace to meet the Supreme Emperor, Jia Daishan's first wife, will not allow the prince to be unscrupulous.

Jia Shishi, who laughed for a while, also understood Lin Shu's attitude, she also knew Lin Shu's stubbornness, and understood that the original plan was basically a failure, so she suggested: "That's it, look at the age of Tan girl. Growing up, there is no suitable marriage so far. You know a lot of people and see if there is a suitable candidate. It is not suitable for our family to marry a noble family now, it is best to find a scholar..."

The old lady's thoughts turned quickly, and what she said was just right.Lin Shu also understands the old lady's worry. Recently, there is an endless stream of people in the capital who say goodbye, and the wedding invitations received by the Lin family can be arranged until the next year.

In the palace, not only the Supreme Emperor was in poor health, but several concubines were also in poor health.In case the Jingyang bell rings, it will take a lot of time just to observe the country's filial piety according to the system.

Tanchun was not much younger than Daiyu. He was fourteen this year, and he would be Jiji in a year.And she doesn't need Daiyu to be noble, the second concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, it is really not easy to find a suitable candidate in Xungui's house, instead she can find the most suitable one among scholars.

Lin Shu pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed to the matter.Although it is easy to complain about such things as being close, but under the circumstances that Yuanchun and Rongguo's mansions are not down, as long as the person you are looking for is not bad, it is estimated that this matter will definitely be grateful to both parties.

Seeing Lin Shu agreeing, Jia Shi felt a little less regretful.However, she still said regretfully: "Originally, I thought that our two families would get closer, but I heard from Yu'er that your two cousins ​​are both married, and there is no man of the right age in the family. Alas, what a pity. "

Lin Shu said with a smile: "This generation is not successful, isn't there a next generation? Our two families are relatives of the natal family, why should we care about these? When there is a chance in the future, I will discuss a marriage with Cousin Lian. Madam, you say, How about this?"
