Chapter 142: The Gong Family


Ruan's mother finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and led the maids to retreat.

The Sheep's Horn Palace lamp on the small table emitted a gentle yellow warm light, which dissipated a lot of the night cold, and the rain outside the house was almost stopped, and the sparse insect chirping gradually sounded.

Everything calmed down too quickly, as if this rainstorm was surging with thousands of storms, but he had no choice but to leave, leaving nothing but puddles all over the ground and a little brief impression of people.

"Ahem, the fourth prince is about to ascend the throne, don't worry."

In the silence of the room, Cheng Xunxun coughed and took the lead in breaking the silence.

Yuzhu smiled, and didn't plan to hear anything else from him, and patted his chest: "Amitabha, the dust has finally settled."

Thinking that the emperor had just died, it was indeed a little inappropriate to say this, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"Silly."

Cheng Xunxun sat cross-legged on the bed, his slender fingers supporting his chin, and looked at Yuzhu as if he wanted to say something.

Yuzhu finished making the bed and waited quietly for him to speak, probably guessing what he wanted to say.

"Do you want to know about the Gong family" Cheng Xunxun sighed and slowly spoke under Yuzhu's gaze: "There is also about the Gong family." ” "I'll listen to what the prime minister says."

Yuzhu suppressed his curiosity and still carried out the sentence "husband is the sky" to the end. saw the man get out of bed neatly, lifted the two layers of azure gold silk brocade curtain outside and walked out.

Yuzhu was stunned, it wouldn't be that he didn't want to say that he was going to run away.

After a while, it suddenly darkened a lot in front of him, Yuzhu looked up in surprise, and saw that Cheng Xunxun had returned to the bedside, and a small glass lamp that was placed at the head of the bed for the night was also blown out, and now there was no light at all.

Yuzhu shrank uneasily, heard the sound of Suosuo, and then tightened his waist and fell into a generous warm embrace.

But this posture is really uncomfortable, and lying like this still presses her hair, so she subconsciously struggles "Don't move."

The man's voice in the darkness was low and deep, and it was close to her ear, and the warm breath swept through the fine fluff around her ear, itching to the bottom of her heart.

Saying this, his hands were still loose, leaving room for Yuzhu to find a comfortable position.

"The Gong family is also a famous family, you grew up in Beijing since you were a child, and then you went out with your father, you may not have heard much."

This kind of whispering in the dark is really irresistible, Yuzhu couldn't help but slow down his breathing and listen to him.

"The head of the Gong family is the father of the Gong family, a man full of poetry and books, who uses his ancestors and practical officials to the governor of one side.

However, on the eve of leaving Beijing, a pair of children born by Mrs.

Gong fell ill and fell unconscious.

Mr.

Gong and Mrs.

Gong are anxious, and the day of taking office must not be delayed, but these children have always been their treasures, how can they bear to leave.

Cheng Xunxun was still a little stiff at the beginning, but the more he said it, the calmer he became.

"Seeing that the day of taking office is approaching day by day, I can't, so I have to think of someone to take care of it.

And Master Gong and his father have been friends since childhood, and their friendship has been good for many years, so they naturally entrusted their father to the mansion to be righteous, promised very happily, and specially asked his mother to clean up two adjacent exquisite small courtyards.

But this time things have changed again, the boy is probably stronger, Gong's younger brother is very young, but he healed quickly, Master Gong and Mrs.

Gong are overjoyed, and the schedule is really unbearable, so they only entrusted the eldest daughter and took the younger son with him."

Yuzhu couldn't help but interject: "Is that younger brother's name Xiaofan, the old lady seems to have mentioned it, and now he is in the north." ” Cheng Xunxun's fingertips wrapped around a wisp of fragrant and smooth green silk, and said strangely: "What did the old lady say?"

Yuzhu thought about it for a while, and learned to him the words that the old lady scolded Gong.

"The scolding is not bad, Gong has been in the Guogong Mansion for three years, he has a lively temperament, he is not timid at all, he was quiet in his illness for two days, and after getting acquainted, he often called our brother with a smile.

At that time, the first sister-in-law has passed away for five years, the brother and sister-in-law have deep feelings, the eldest brother is not happy to see the sister-in-law who left behind, and usually does not even want to meet, the righteous brother is young, seeing that the Gong family is good to him, he is particularly sticky to her, and the eldest brother and I have no sister, because she is not too old, so she also acquiesced to let her take the righteous brother to sit on the bench and watch when practicing martial arts, and serve us tea and snacks The Gong family is loyal and filial piety to the family with poems and books, where did I think she would commit such a big crime. ” Yuzhu comforted: "I don't blame others for this, but the most important thing is to find out the reason why she was involved."

After a pause, he asked, "And then?"

"The Gong family was very unjust, and they were about to return to Beijing after three years.

However, when his term of office was about to expire, he encountered a locust plague, and he would have only been affected in the performance appraisal, but the money and grain allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief were greedy, and most of them were swept into it at once, and most of them were the sins of others. ” "How can such a big official be easily wronged, and the person who investigates the case can't find out a little clearly."

Yuzhu suddenly felt indignant, those corrupt officials who were greedy for the people's life-saving money and could still return the blame to others, and they got away with it, and Namei's concubine bought the land, they really deserved to die.

Cheng Xunxun sneered, "Hmph, after the incident, the first emperor was furious, guarding the civil ministers, the middle officials, the three divisions below, and even the imperial history were all clean, so who else, who could prove his innocence, there was no one who sent charcoal in the snow, but the insinuating sewage was splashed a lot, and even the court push presided over by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households before the appointment was exposed to have a doorway to make matters worse."

Immediately as the culprit, sentenced to beheading, and then the clan was also implicated, almost as if the house was raided, the ancestral property was touched a lot in the open and secretly, and many people in the close branch were sentenced to exile The father also intervened, and it was easy to keep the Gong family. ” Yuzhu pondered it, it turned out that the doorway under Master Gong's officialdom was not transparent enough, and the relationship with his colleagues and subordinates was not good, so he was tragically pushed out as a scapegoat after "sharing the spoils".

Otherwise, it is impossible to be regarded as an abandoned son with such a large official rank as a governor in any case, there are countless middle-level officials to choose from, persimmons have always been soft and pinched, Master Gong probably belongs to the kind of clean officials who are a little unclean, but he can't belong to which camp, so that both sides will not help him, and if something happens, he can only end up like this.

If you don't know how to be an official, then don't engage in this high-risk profession, tooth cards and pai are not so easy to get.

Yuzhu has a lot of relatives, in fact, the experience of this Master Gong and his father is very similar, it is really a wrong step, a locust plague has changed the fate of many people But think about it carefully, the old man didn't do his best, if he did his best, it would not be much of a problem to save the young brother of the Gong family, who was only five years old at the time of the accident, I am afraid it is to avoid suspicion, after all, the female dependents can turn a blind eye, but the male can't.

Keeping the Gong family is enough to prove that he has made a contribution, and it will not involve too many forces, if this old man goes to become an official, he will definitely have two brushes Just thinking about it, I heard in my ears again, "Gong was only thirteen years old at the time, and when he heard the news, he immediately locked himself in the room, and did not come out for a whole day. ” "Why is it dirty" Yuzhu feels that this Gong family is very much like the heroine in the novel, this magnificent, ups and downs of life, how many people can come out like this.

Cheng Xunxun's tone was indifferent: "What she said was that she disguised herself as a man and followed the caravan to the north, but she couldn't see her brother's face, and it wasn't enough to entangle, so she suffered a lot before returning to the capital.

Finally, he knelt at the door of Siqian Hall and begged his mother to take him in. ” "Of course I have to take it in, but this is too coincidental, why did I just meet someone who doesn't know if there is any disheveled clothes."

Yuzhu is simply not saying anything.

In the dark, Cheng Xunxun glanced at Yuzhu approvingly, reached out and patted her greasy back, "Half a month later, the eldest brother married her to fill the house." ” Yuzhu suddenly wanted to ask, did you like Gong at the time, after all, she participated in her beautiful years from the age of ten to thirteen years and her lips moved after all, but she still didn't say it, in fact, about, maybe, there should be, forget it, figure out what to do, it's better to be confused when people live, there is a saying how to say, it is called deep love and longevity and wisdom must be hurt. silently reciting the golden mean, next to Cheng Xunxun's warm arms and falling asleep, tomorrow is another very beautiful day.

Early the next morning, the streets and alleys of the capital were spread all over the city, the new emperor was finally baked, and every household breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the border is stable, there is no major disaster except for the flood in Yuzhou, and now the new emperor is young and strong, and it is not surprising that the next few decades will be smooth and smooth.

The people's wishes are very simple, as long as they can avoid the disaster of the sword, the rest can be endured.

The high-ranking families, including the nobles and lords, were also busy worshipping the ancestors and bodhisattvas, and by the way, they praised the destiny of the four princes, and eliminated a catastrophe invisibly.

As for the rebellious ministers and thieves, they actually dared to raise dead soldiers, and dared to wander around my house to scare people, it was really an unforgivable crime, and they all went to the fold to ask for a heavy sentence for the five princes, so as to strengthen the heavens.

The four princes who are just right to sit in front of the imperial case with only one enthronement ceremony, turning a blind eye to the piles of such folds, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to be busy, who has the time to listen to these overt and secret sycophants, a suspected crime of murdering the first emperor is enough, no matter how much it is a waste.

The most important thing is the funeral of the first emperor, which is extremely trivial and troublesome, but if it is not done well, it is a big unfilial piety to find out the mistakes, so it is still not careless.

In order to show filial piety, the queen mother wanted to be filial piety to the country for a year, and the emperor collapsed If the new emperor wants to keep filial piety for three years, and the people have to accompany him within three years, so that he should not take the exam, do not be an official, and do not marry.

However, this is obviously impossible to implement, and it doesn't hurt to delay the people, if the imperial court is almost in a state of collapse for three years, then the world doesn't know what chaos will become.

So early on, the emperor began to be flexible, after the previous generation of emperors succeeded to the throne, in line with the heart of not wanting to disturb the people, the edict to the world, where there are the family of the lord and the four grades of the official eunuchs to mourn for three months, forbid ceremonial music, marriage, banquets, but hundreds of officials, the edict to cry the spirit of the people or something as long as it is not too much, the meaning is on the line.

Half a month later, it was the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, the year name was changed to Yuan Xi, the honorable concubine was the Queen Mother, and the rest of the harem funeral concubines of the first emperor were rewarded according to their grades, and at the same time the four princesses were canonized Fu Shi as the queen, and the mother was the world. gd1806102:
