Chapter 720: Flying Far Away (Part 1)
Before the year of Chen Bo, he wrote a letter to open the Baita River in Taizhou to connect the Yangtze River and build a Gaoyou Lake embankment to serve as a parking place for canal boats to avoid strong winds and bad làng. A group of courtiers led by Liangge Lao Shangshu Dou Ge, who also served as the Hubu Shangshu, objected one after another.
, I feel that the imperial court has spent a lot of money on rivers in recent years, and the national treasury is at the end of its strength and is overwhelmed. If the river can be opened, the Baita River can be opened again for two years. The emperor stayed in China without making any progress, and Chen Bo went to Beijing to meet the emperor.
He just hoped to get the emperor's support. When he heard the emperor say this, Chen Bozhi was surprised and happy.
Your Majesty, he knelt on the ground, and I decided to dig out the Baita River and build the Gaoyou River embankment as soon as possible.
So I ask you not to worry about these trivial matters. The Emperor stroked his forehead and looked very embarrassed. Tomorrow I will summon some elders to discuss the matter of the Baita River. You will also be present. When you get back, write it down.
When Mr. Liang Ge or Mr. Dou Ge asks about this charter, you must be able to answer it.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to prepare. Chen Bozhi kowtowed to the Emperor excitedly.
The banquet nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Chen Bozhi knew that the emperor had already finished speaking, and if he spoke again, it would be time for them to retreat. However, if he mentioned his son's matter again, it would give people a sense of narrow-mindedness. If he didn't mention it, couldn't he just let it go?
For a moment, he hesitated.
Who knew that Xu Lingyi knelt down on the side.
Your Majesty, I will send the money to Mr. Chen's apartment after I return. He said hesitantly, but there is one more thing, please ask the Emperor for permission. Xu Lingyi is not a person who likes to stir up trouble. This is the end of what he said.
, it stands to reason that he has earned face, and also has lizi.
The emperor was a little surprised and said: If you have anything to say, just say it. Hesitating is not like your temperament. When Brother Jin was born, Xu Sizhen moved to the outer courtyard. Xu Lingyi said implicitly: Brother Jin can be said to have been under the knee of the Dowager since he was a child.
grown up.
Among the grandsons, I like him the most. He also developed his temperament to hate evil and act recklessly. Thanks to the emperor's love, he was made a commander. I want brother Jin to go to Guangdong. Let him suffer some hardships and restrain his temper.
, I took the opportunity to learn some real skills of bowing, horse riding, and shooting from Mr. Xu Lixu, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, so as to live up to the emperor's love. I asked the emperor for permission, and after saying that, he fell on the ground.
The emperor was surprised, and then showed a faint smile.
This Xu Lingyi is really good at planning.
There was a feud between the Xu family and the Chen family. He favored the Xu family and only allowed him to pay a thousand taels of silver to settle the matter. Chen Bozhi must have been unhappy. Xu Lingyi first promised to send the money to the Chen family immediately, and then proposed to throw his son into the poor mountains and rivers of Guangdong.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Xu family was accompanying money and their son was demoted. The Chen family had the upper hand in this matter. Not to mention Chen Bozhi, even he had to thank Xu Lingyi for his open-mindedness.
The godson is strict, but people who know it can't help but secretly laugh. Who is Xu Li? He was Xu Lingyi's commander during the Western Expedition and an old subordinate of Xu Lingyi. Guangdong has also been disturbed by Japanese pirates in recent years. With He Chengbi guarding Fujian and suppressing Japanese pirates in Guangdong,
The imperial court was more confident. Once troops were sent to Guangdong, with Xu Li taking care of them, Xu Sijin's military exploits would not be able to fly away. With military exploits, it would only be a matter of time for the commander of the Xishan Camp to command the Nanjing General Army.
Thinking of this, he looked towards Chen Bozhi.
Chen Bozhi's face was full of surprise, and he was obviously a little dazed by Xu Lingyi's move.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Xu Lingyi, Xu Lingyi, others don’t know your intentions, but you can’t even think of escaping from my grasp.
If you want to use my hand to help your son have a better future, I won't let you get what you want. Not only will I not let you get what you want, but I also want to let you know that I have been very knowledgeable and can clearly see your little thoughts.
If you want to go to Guangdong, I will let you go to Nanjing. Nanjing Baohua Tianbao, and the general rank is half a rank higher than other general soldiers. If you go to Nanjing, there is no intention to punish you. I have already favored Xu Lingyi once, although by the Baita River
The incident diverted Chen Bozhi's attention, but if he threw Brother Jin to Nanjing again at this moment, wouldn't it break Chen Bozhi's heart?
Then Sichuan is good. Sichuan is also very remote. The father of Ding Zhi, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, died at the hands of Xu Lingyi. If he waits for revenge, brother Jin has a lot of troubles and regrets. He has to find a personal friend and Xu Lingyi.
The good step is to get Gong Dongning, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou Province. Xu Lingyi once saved his life. In recent years, Guizhou has been relatively stable. There have been occasional internal turmoils and the troops have been stopped. Although there is no great military exploit, it is not without opportunities.
.Moreover, Guizhou is even more remote than Guangdong
Thinking of this, the emperor became more and more proud and looked at Xu Lingyi with a smile: Since we want to hone the child's temperament, I think it is better to go to Guizhou than to Guangdong. It is not bad there. Xu Lingyi's face was full of astonishment.
The emperor felt even more comfortable and picked up the tea cup: This matter is settled. Chen Bozhi, you will enter the palace at the right time tomorrow. Yinghua, when you go back, make arrangements. The Ministry of Personnel will have official documents in the next two days.
No one can refute the emperor's words.
The two of them bowed respectfully and retreated.
The emperor looked at Xu Lingyi's back. Why did he feel that the back looked a little rickety?
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Chen Bozhi breathed a sigh of relief. After Xu Lingyi took the initiative to send his son to the border, he felt that he should also express his feelings, so he turned around and wanted to say hello to Xu Lingyi. Unexpectedly, Xu Lingyi strode toward him without saying a word.
Go to Longzongmen.
Apparently, Xu Lingyi's concession was just for the emperor's sake.
Chen Bozhi smiled coldly, turned around and headed towards Jingyun Gate, which was facing Longzong Gate.
After returning home, Xu Lingyi called Manager Bai: Go to the room to collect a thousand taels of silver in cash and ask the clerk to send someone to deliver it to Chen Bozhi's residence in Yanjing.
Manager Bi knew that Xu Lingyi entered the palace because of the conflict with the Chen family, so he hurriedly looked at his expression. Seeing that although his expression was cold and stern, his eyes were very peaceful. He was relieved, answered with a smile, and turned around to go to the palace.
Xu Lingyi stood alone in the study room, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
He went to the main room.
Eleven Niang and Ying Niang were sitting on the big kang near the window, doing needlework. The warm sunshine in winter poured in, adding a warm atmosphere to the two of them.
Master Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju and Jian, all made children's clothes and brought them in. I paid off some of the clothes Brother Jin wore when he was a child. It's enough. You don't always sit in the house doing needlework these days and walk around.
I'm sorry, Ying Niang's face is slightly red.
She is due in mid-February and there has been no news yet.
Okay, I'll accompany you for a walk in the yard. Eleven Niang put down her needlework and walked around more, and the birth will go more smoothly. Ying Niang said yes in surprise, but she looked up and saw Xu Lingyi.
Father, she got off the kang in a hurry.
Eleven Niang hurriedly turned around: The Marquis is back. Xu Lingyi nodded: Ying Niang is here too. Ying Niang knew that Xu Lingyi entered the palace this year. She hurriedly said: I was about to leave and then retreated with the maids.
Why did the emperor let you enter the palace? Eleven Niang made Xu Lingyi a cup of tea.
But Xu Lingyi hugged Eleven Niang: The emperor asked Brother Jin to go to Guizhou, and a smile burst out from his face that could not be concealed. Dongning and I have a life-long friendship, Brother Jin will be left to him
, I couldn’t be more relieved. Then I sighed, how much of the old love does the Emperor still miss about our family?
Eleven Niang heard this confusedly: What is going on?
Xu Lingyi asked her to sit on his lap and told Eleven Niang what happened in a low voice.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but be afraid for a while: What if the emperor asked Brother Jin to go to Sichuan? Lord Hou's move was still too risky. Xu Lingyi laughed softly if he went to Sichuan. If he didn't go to Sichuan, what if Brother Jin
When going to Sichuan, the only thing to do is to ask Ding Zhi to move before brother Jin goes. Although his tone is light, he is full of confidence.
Eleven Niang knew that Xu Lingyi was not someone who spoke freely, so she was a little confused about what method he would use.
Those general soldiers all eat military supplies and military pay, so they are clean on their bodies. Otherwise, they would not pay a large sum of money every year to honor the people of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
. Even if those general commanders once served under my command, times have changed, and I have only given up the false title of Prince and Young Master. No matter how good the friendship is, it will fade away. The reason why they still give me some face is because of my imperial court.
If they are out there and are impeached by the court officials, I can just say a few words to them. If I want to deal with Ding Zhi, I only need to reveal a few things to the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he will be miserable all the time in Sichuan.
Emperor Gao is far away, but the commander-in-chief is not that good. I don’t know how many people are staring at that position. He said, kissing Eleven Niang’s cheek. Well, this matter has finally cleared up. If
Brother Jin is really that material. He will stay in Guizhou for a few years and then be transferred to Shandong or Huguang. The thieves in Shandong and Huguang have been cunning in the past few years. Jiahe is the county established for this reason. If he can catch up by then
If he joins the bandit suppression and achieves military merit, then everything will be fine. If it weren't for this material, he would have to give an explanation to the emperor in just a few years. If you don't want him to get close to the people in the Xishan Camp, we will
Let's go to Nanjing. It's close to Yanjing and has rich products. It will only take a few days to come back whenever you want. He looked very happy and patted her butt. Okay, go and collect the cages for brother Jin.
Well, I think the official documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs should arrive in the next few days. Eleven Niang pinched him: "Why are you hitting me?" Xu Lingyi laughed loudly.
The news that Xu Sijin was going to Guizhou soon spread throughout Yanjing.
He had a constant stream of visitors, all of them filled with indignation.
Wei Xun even rolled up his sleeves: What the hell, you dare to molest us in front of the emperor. I don’t believe that with so many of us, we can’t control him, a dung beetle from Huai’an Countryside. He made an appointment with several important people from the Xishan Camp.
Go find Chen Ji to settle accounts.
Wang Sheng, who was serving as Tongzhi in the Xishan Camp, grabbed him: now is not the time to settle accounts. If something happens to him, Chen Bozhi will most likely blame brother Jin, which will be even more troublesome. As he said this, he smiled.
