Rebirth of the Son Raiders

In fact, Lin Yanhong was not very familiar with Anshun Wang's family, only because Mr. Bishan and Mr. Zhanhe were both students of Wang Xiang, and Mr. Bishan was born in Wang's family, so he heard Li Jingcheng say something about this family.

On top of Mr. Bishan, there are an elder brother and an older sister, and four cousins.

Most of these nephews of the Wang family were sent abroad, and only two remained in Beijing to serve as officials. Among them, Wang Lujiang worked in the Imperial Academy and was the Shangfeng of Lin Yanhong's cousin Qi Wenbo, while Wang Lushen was an official in the Ministry of Officials and later served in Yushitai. Yushi Zhongcheng.

This time, the person who was appointed as the imperial envoy to escort the grain and grass from the large warehouse in Beijing to Pingwu was Wang Lushen.

Li Jingcheng said that Lin Yanhong recognized the imperial envoy, he was not wrong, after all, they were officials in the same court, although Lin Yanhong was not a court official when he was in Beijing, but it was true that he met at some big ceremonies.

However, in Li Jingcheng's impression, he had never met this censor Zhongcheng, and he had never even met his eyes.

Seeing that Lin Yanhong put down the letter in his hand, Li Jingcheng said, "Your Majesty still trusts the prime minister very much, and even the Wang family is highly valued. Wang Lushen has already become the vice-official of the Yushitai in just [-] years, which can be seen."

But in turn, it just shows another thing.

"Wang Lushen was transferred from the Ministry of Officials to Yushitai to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng. It can be seen that His Majesty has been completely disappointed in Yushitai."

If not, why would His Majesty take so much effort to send his confidant grandson to Yushitai in case of an emergency?

The current censor of Yushitai is Zhuang Shunyuan. He is from Yunshui County. He once returned home due to illness and begged for bones. He lived in the old house of the Yue family in Yuntong City to recuperate.

Later, he was called back to the court by His Majesty, and he should have been a close minister of the emperor, but now it seems that he may not be so.

Lin Yanhong was very "familiar" with this Mr. Zhuang.

As early as when he was in Yuntong, Mr. Zhuang was recalled by His Majesty, so he thought about selling the house in Yuntong City, which was later taken over by Lin Yanhong.

At that time, Master Zhuang admired and loved Lin Yanhong very much, and his attitude was kind and friendly, as if he was close to his elders.

Unexpectedly, after only seeing each other for a few years, Lin Yanhong went to Beijing, overcame obstacles all the way to the palace examination, became the top of the three tripods, and entered the Imperial Academy, but he was not "loved" by Mr. Zhuang.

Yu Shitai repeatedly advised His Majesty because of Lin Yanhong's affairs, and he almost wrote the words "this son is mediocre and overwhelmed" on Lin Yanhong's face.As the highest officer of Yushitai, Mr. Zhuang took the lead and was the vanguard every time. Shen Lin Yanhong was not relentless at all, and he didn't take the "friendship" in his heart at all, and he was selfless, fair and upright.

In order to avoid suspicion and avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, Lin Yanhong ordered He Chang, who stayed in Yuntong to manage his private property, to quickly sell the house.

Because Mr. Zhuang was a very popular official in Beijing at that time, Yuntong's house was sold very smoothly, and the final value was even much higher than what he should have received in return. Lin Yanhong only added a little money, and He Chang asked He Chang immediately I bought a large yard with three entrances and a back garden elsewhere, and since then I have completely "broken contact" with Mr. Zhuang.

Although Mr. Zhuang has always been "upright", there are at least [-] people who have participated in this life, and he has never been afraid of power. Not to mention the royal relatives and relatives, he dared to participate, and he can even talk about His Majesty's affairs.

Emperor Liang took a fancy to Fang Zheng, so he recalled him to Yushitai and continued to use him for himself.

But from Lin Yanhong's point of view, he didn't have a good impression of Zhuang Shunyuan.

It wasn't because the other party made things difficult for him, but because Lin Yanhong knew in his heart that he had to cling to him every time, probably not because of Mr. Zhuang's "integrity".

"Zhuang Shunyuan has fallen out of favor, and it won't be long before he jumps around." Li Jingcheng lowered his eyes and fiddled with his cuffs: "Unless the person behind him can become the final winner."

Although there were only two people present, Lin Yanhong was still startled when he heard Li Jingcheng's words, and subconsciously patted his arm, only to be caught by someone.

"Nonsense," Lin Yanhong saw Li Jingcheng holding his hand in the palm of his hand to play with, almost forgetting the serious business, and stared for a long time before saying: "Don't think that you don't have to be cautious in your words and deeds in your own place."

"Yes, my brother said so."

The situation in the northern border has improved recently, Lin Yanhong managed to put a smile on his face occasionally, even Li Jingcheng was quite happy.

Just received a letter from the princess, saying that she was teaching Xiao Jingxi to speak, saying words such as father, mother, brother, etc. Li Jingcheng told Lin Yanhong about this, which made Lin Yanhong very envious—the way the child babbled It is the cutest, not to mention being recognized by the baby, what a proud thing it is!

As a result, Li Jingcheng called Lin Yanhong "brother" in private from then on, euphemistically calling him so that he would not have to be envious (fog).

As expected, Lin Yanhong was stunned for a moment, and instead of blaming him, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Fortunately, His Majesty believes in the northern border..."

Otherwise, they would not have sent the Wang family, who were clearly neutral, to Qudu, but instead let someone they like come to Pingwu.

Li Jingcheng understood that what the other party wanted to talk about was not the Northern Territory, but Prince Yu's Mansion.

The name of His Royal Highness was chosen by Emperor Liang. Originally, Emperor Liang's name had the character "Xi", which was taboo, but he still chose the word "Xi" for this little nephew of Prince Yu's Mansion—this is known to everyone. It seems that this is the meaning of today's incomparable trust and love for Prince Yu's Mansion.

However, the emperor's heart, the seabed needle... Even if Yu Wangfu is loyal to the emperor and guards the northern border without any selfishness, it may not be able to gain the complete trust of His Majesty.

What's more, one day there will always be someone who will occupy that seat, and now no one knows what the final winner will do to Prince Yu's Mansion.

From this point of view, the Wang family is not like this. Now it seems that they are in power and have unlimited glory, but it implies a crisis.

——In the eyes of wise people, the days when the fire is cooking oil and the flowers are blooming are not a comfortable thing.

……

The imperial envoy came later, but the food and grass he escorted was still warmly welcomed by the top and bottom.

With food and grass support from Dongdacang and Jingdacang successively, and the Nanling Zhenyuan Army and the Northern Frontier Army jointly defending against the enemy, the pressure on Pingwu and other northern counties dropped sharply.

But in the eyes of everyone, Lin Changshi might not be so happy.

The prince also serves as the governor of Pingyang, and Lin Yanhong's other driver is watched by the two royal families, King Yu and Prince Yu's son, so it is rare for him to do whatever he wants.

What's more, there are many officials around him from local clans, who may not be very obedient, and it is naturally impossible to do things smoothly.

After all, because of the incident in Yongzhou, now the Northern Territory is at least superficially twisted, and suddenly descended to be an Angel of Tianjing.

It is said that it is to assist the affairs of the northern border, but Wang Lushen is two ranks higher than Lin Yanhong, and he is the fifth-rank Yushi Zhongcheng.

Beijing officials are valuable, not to mention the royal family that His Majesty trusts... Lin Changshi, an "upstart", may not be able to compete with the "enduring prosperity" of his superiors.

At first, I thought that the new imperial envoys should at least be polite before "handling". Who knew that they didn't even say a few words of greetings, so they immediately went straight in and asked about the situation in the northern border, and when they came, they meant to push Lin Changshi aside to cool off. .

During this period of time, the northern border has experienced the hardest and most difficult days in decades. Many officials have witnessed with their own eyes how Lin Changshi ran around and turned the tide when he was not yet a weak crown.

Even if the local wealthy family had some "unhappiness" with Chang Shi for many reasons, they still have to admire his ability and tenacity.

Now when the imperial envoy came to the northern border, he had the intention of prostitution, which surprised many people and also made them dissatisfied.

In particular, some people who had already established a "deep friendship" with Chang Shi had a lot of opinions on the imperial envoy.

Li Jingcheng was very upset when he saw that Wang Lushen wanted to check the accounts of Lin Yanhong's local grain collection.

He said with deep eyes: "This batch of grain was used up before the grain and grass from Dongdacang arrived in Qudu. It may be too late for Mr. Wang to check the accounts now."

Wang Lushen did not expect Prince Yu to speak before Lin Yanhong, and he could hear the displeasure in his tone.

Shizi said that this batch of grain had been completely used up before the grain and grass from Dongdacang arrived in Qudu, which actually implied that the support from Jingdacang came too slowly.

In fact, Wang Lushen, or Wang Xiang to be precise, had already expected that the imperial envoy from Beijing might make Yu Wangfu temporarily stand by Lin Yanhong's side-after all, for Yu Wangfu, Lin Changshi is now At least he can be regarded as a member of the Northern Territory, but he, Wang Lushen, is an outsider sent by Beijing to "point fingers" on the affairs of the Northern Territory. It is clear at a glance who is close and far.

It's just that Lin Yanhong's face was calm and he didn't seem to have any objections, and Yu Wang's mansion had already stood up to speak for him, which was somewhat beyond Wang Lushen's expectations.

"His Royal Highness, collecting grain on the spot was originally an expedient measure. Although the northern border is not yet completely stable, since the grain and grass in the Beijing Dacang and Dongdacang have been in place, it is time to consider returning the things borrowed from the people to the people. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the court?"

Prince Yu said a word for him, and it can also be said that it is because of the same situation in the northern border. If he continues to argue with Wang Lushen for him, it may arouse the suspicion of the other party, and even the suspicion of the person in Beijing. .

Lin Yanhong no longer remained silent, and took the initiative to say: "My lord Wang's words are true, but at the time of the grain requisition, it was agreed to be for half a year. Now it's only a month or so. Paying back the grain in advance may make the local people feel panic."

Wang Lu took a deep look at Lin Yanhong, and suddenly smiled: "Master Lin is indeed a student of Mr. Zhanhe. He is really good at making a half-year-long agreement with a local family that has always been stubborn. It is really admirable."

If he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Wang Lushen's tone, Lin Yanhong would have spent so many years studying and being an official in vain.

He was a little surprised.

——Why can he feel that Wang Lushen is quite hostile to him, and this hostility seems to be related to Mr. Zhanhe?
